Renato was as tired as if he had fought for the whole day. He had just helped a teenage girl with shopping by carrying her bags and nodding at random outfits when she asked him for an opinion. Yet, it felt as if it lasted forever.

«It's the Bright Moon!» Lucretia commented on the way back. He was driving, so he hoped to have the chance to rest a little. Yet, the brat was settled on socialising. Couldn't she bring a friend along that day?

«Are you going to turn with that woman?»

«What woman?»
