The stereo began to beep, signaling that his mother was dying.
Frightened, Michelangelo realized that this was not a good time to have gone to her.
Perhaps it would have been better to let her go in peace and solitude.
After all, what the eye cannot see, the heart cannot feel.
But his Sherlock Holmes sense had brought him there, precisely to witness Rosario's departure.
As much as he didn't want to, tears flooded down his face.
- There's nothing more to be done, she's gone sir.
The nurse then covers Rosario's body with a white sheet.
- What do you mean she's gone? She was going to tell me something important.
- I'm sorry, but whatever she was going to tell you, she won't, because she's no longer with us.
A sense of sadness and loss unimaginable to Michelangelo until that moment takes over his being.
- You must leave now, so that we can take the body away.
Michelangelo obeys and leaves the room.
At the breakfast table, Bibiana is surprised that Michelangelo hasn't woken up yet.
After putting the coffee in the bottle and taking it to the table, Bibiana goes to his room and finds that he isn't there.
Imagining that he might have slept in his brother's room, Bibiana also checks.
- Well, he's not here either. I wonder where that boy has gone.
Fifteen minutes later, with the table ready for coffee, Michelangelo arrives home.
- Michelangelo, you left early today. Did you have any extra work?
- She's gone, Mom.
- Who's gone, Michelangelo?
- My mother Rosario is gone forever.
As soon as he hears what his brother has said, Matteo gets up.
- What time was that?

- Last night around ten.
- Did you go to Michelangelo hospital?
- Yes, Mom.
- Why did you do it, son?
- I thought maybe I could get the name of the person who ordered the exchange of the twin out of her.
- I didn't see you at home, but I never would have imagined that you would have gone to the hospital to talk to your other mother.
Rocco gets into the car, calling Antonella on speakerphone, since he's in traffic.
