Deranged: Mad; insane.

Noah's conversation rings in my ears. Or, Vincenzo. What is his real name? And who's Valerio? Noah's brother? I mean Vincenzo. God, I don't even know anymore! Why did Noah/Vincenzo say that he wanted to go back to the Italian Mafia? Was he in it before?
I should stop asking questions that I definitely don't know the answer to. I'll just drive myself crazy. Or am I already crazy? Stop, stop, stop! I'll just ask Noah/Vincenzo. He'll tell me...Right?
"Are you there?" I ask into the shadows of Noah's apartment.
"Yeah, I'm in the kitchen," Noah calls back.
I make my way towards his voice until I see him.
"Hey, Noah, I have something to tell you," I say, fidgeting with my fingers.
He nods, gesturing for me to go ahead.
"I, uh, heard your conversation with...I think it was Valerio," I whisper.
Noah's face drains of all colour. He slowly turns to face me. "What did you hear?" he asks.
I gulp. "Everything," I reply, "like how your name is actually Vincenzo, you're here for a mission and you were in the Italian Mafia."
Noah/Vincenzo just stares at me. I scratch the back of my arm. We stand in awkward silence for a few minutes.
As if he can read my mind, Noah/Vincenzo says, "Vincenzo. Call me Vincenzo."
