it’s halloween night in rome. you’re at a party with your close friends, ludovica storti and fabio fedeli. nearly everybody is here at this party, including people with complicated pasts. you glance around the room and you see a familiar set of shoulders.

you glance around the party again and walk through to the bathrooms. whilst bumping through the crowds you lock eyes with a guy. a guy with skeleton face paint and dead-looking, blue eyes. it doesn’t take you long to recognize him as niccolo, your ex-secret-fling.
