You were the daughter of the president of Italy during the Second World War. Hidden in a secret location, you and your family spend their days, hoping that this god damn war would finally end. You almost didn’t care about the outcome anymore, you just wanted the terror to end.

You had snuck out of the house in the middle of the night, taking a walk. It was a ritual you couldn’t live without anymore, to escape from your family just for a few minutes and to dream of a life that was different than this.
