After a particularly heated argument with his father about the future of the Santoro family, Romeo realizes he can't continue living a double life. He meets Julian at their usual rooftop spot, the city skyline stretching out behind them.
"We can't keep doing this," Romeo says, his voice strained. "Living like this, sneaking around, hiding from everyone... It's too much."
Julian nods, his expression somber. "I know. But what choice do we have?"
Romeo takes a deep breath. "We leave. Together. We get out of this city, away from our families, and start over somewhere new. Just you and me."
Julian is silent for a moment, weighing the risk. He knows what leaving would mean—cutting ties with everything he's ever known, betraying his family. But when he looks at Romeo, he knows it's worth it. "Okay," he finally says. "Let's do it. Let's get out of here."
