Luca nods before passing out on the dashboard. Lyra tries not to panic, she decides to pull over in a place where she couldn't be seen. Once approached, he placed Luca vertically on the ground, now Lyra had to understand if Luca is alive or not, she decides to do as she had seen in many TV series, and by placing two fingers in the radial sand, after she feels the heartbeat she reassures herself; therefore, at the moment he decides to put Luca in the back seat. Half an hour passes, Lyra has just managed to put Luca in the back seat, even if he wasn't placed in the best position, Lyra did her best, even putting the seat belt on him for safety. He decides to leave immediately, towards the border.
[In While Luca]
Luca is inside the train, trying to remember what happened before falling asleep, and thinks: "What happened? What happened? I REMEMBER! I was in the car with Lyra, and then? I don't know". Luca tries to remember, a lot of time passes, everything turns out to be in vain, among his memories there was nothing useful. Luca only notices later that Lyra is standing motionless in front of him. The only thing left to do is pass the time, but how? First he decides to go to Rosy to tell him what had happened to him, but she too was immobile, they were both awake.And now? What could Luca do? Yes, I'm asking you, I'm asking you, the reader, just try to imagine how Luca felt, the only thing he knows is that he's passed out and has no one to talk to, and the only thing he can do is wait, do you want me to continue with the story... okay. Luca is still on the train sitting in his seat in a fetal position, the only thing he can do is also what he hates most, think, he can't stand it, his mind only asks him questions to which he has no answers, every time he stays in the His thoughts end up going from crying to hysterical laughter. Luca ends up getting lost in his thoughts: "I DON'T KNOW, I'M TRYING, ENOUGH! Why am I screaming in my mind? Ha ha maybe I'm just... maybe... NO nothing maybe, I'm going crazy! I don't understand what I should expect from this story, I could write a book about it, the one who ran away from home without a plan, as long as there was a famous brand he would still be successful, but? No, nothing..."He decides to stand up, sits next to Lyra's still body, hoping to wake up.After a while he wakes up in the car, in the back seat, in a very uncomfortable and strange position, he says
Luca: "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?"
Lyra, who fortunately knew was not easily frightened, did not flinch in fear as she answered him
Lyra: "WOULD YOU PREFER I LEFT YOU ON THE GROUND? I DID MY BEST"
Luca feels guilty, he didn't know that Lyra had worked hard to help him; then, he apologizes with a repentant voice, the air was very dark, Lyra decides to tell them
Lyra: "Remember, what you call mistakes, are lessons."
Luca is amazed by Lyra's words and unconsciously says
Luca: "Aside from being beautiful, you are also very intelligent"
Lyra blushes at Luca's words. After noticing that Lyra is red in the face she asks him
Luca: "Do you have anything? Are you feeling sick?"
Lyra tells him she's fine and they continue on a journey that doesn't know when it will end.Luca thinks: "How long can the journey be? We're just in a small town, there are many service stations, what if I ask Lyra to stop us? I don't know if she'll answer me, maybe she's still embarrassed about being the first, FUCK! Because I don't think first to speak, on who knows how many occasions I would have avoided fools like this." Lyra breaks that silence by answering Luca's question
Lyra: "Thank you... I didn't expect a compliment like that."
Now there are two of us feeling embarrassed, perfect. It's night time Luca says
Luca: "If you want I can drive, before running away I had started driving school, I can manage quite well, if you want you can rest in the meantime."
Lyra pulls up behind a service station, then gets out and gets into the front right seat and puts Luca in the driver's seat. Luca turns the key and they set off again, Lyra sits in the passenger seat, looking out the window as the night landscape slowly passes by. Luca, focused on the road, gets lost in his thoughts for a moment. The tension of the situation gradually dissolves, leaving room for a sort of silent connection between the two of them. As Luca drives through the night, he decides to break the silence:
Luca: "You know, Lyra, I never asked you what you were doing before all this happened. It doesn't seem like the kind of adventure a person usually goes on."
Lyra smiles, looking out the window again before replying:
Lyra: "My life has always been a little out of the ordinary, I think. I've always looked for something more, different. And you, Luca, what brought you to this path?"
Luca reflects for a moment before answering:
Luca: "I'm here because it was becoming impossible to live, I already had my problems, I already had disorder in my life. I couldn't find a purpose, but now I know for sure that my purpose is to find my lost dream, and try to make a new life, it does not change whether on earth or in heaven."
Lyra nods, understanding the feeling of freedom that permeates the air around them. The trip becomes an opportunity to get to know each other better, sharing their stories and laughter, trying to temporarily forget the chaos that surrounds them.As the hours pass, dawn begins to paint the sky with warm colors. They decide to make a quick stop at a small roadside cafe. While they sip their coffee, Lyra looks at Luca with curious eyes:
Lyra: "Have you ever thought about what you'll do when this is all over?"
Luca raises his gaze, trying to imagine an uncertain future:
Luca: "I have no idea. Maybe we could find a quiet place, away from all this, and build something of our own. What do you think?"
Lyra smiles, her dreamy gaze reflecting the same hope:
Lyra: "I like the idea. Maybe, in this chaos, we've found something valuable."
Luca and Lyra return to the car, leaving towards an uncertain future, what does the future hold for them? What can we expect them to do? You discover all this by experiencing their story. Continues
