Delicately, he was embracing her, and, almost lost in thought, he started to talk. In front of them there was a black wooden piece of furniture with several shelves. Some of them were full of books, and some were empty, and he was staring at them.

Moving a lock of hair from her face, he has called her just with the force of his glance. When she has met his eyes, she looked with such tender that even her puppet perceived that intimacy. They have shared a sweet glance, and immediately Luke has gone back to stare at that black furniture, and his sound of voice has made her forget what happened that night.

With a soft tone of voice, he said: “You look at that library; look at each shelf. Look at each book. Life is like that library. Each book has given you something. It has left you happy, you have smile, some others are sad; and you have shed tears. But from each of them, you have learned a life lesson, and you look at those empty. It’s the path that you have to walk through, and those books that you have not still read, it’s what the future has in mind for you.”

“We have known each other, in this strange, but wonderful way. You want to write the first lines of this new chapter of my life?” She had told it, staring to that black furniture, perceiving the hold of his hand making itself sweetly stronger.
It seemed that in those seconds everything was floating around in that apartment, and only when their glances met once again has everything returned to turning normally. They also have rerstart to breathe.

Luke was looking at her, and he was going to kissing her, and that kiss was the consolidation of what they had told themselves.
But that moment has been interrupted by a scaring scream in the street, and everybody in that apartment has looked with wide eyes open, the only puppet that Daria had.

Her puppet was able to recognize all the voices in the street, and that scream came from the child creature that Luke had met just minutes before entering the building.
Very worried, she had already forgotten that sweet moment just seconds earlier, and gotten up. She carried with herself her puppet, and placing him on that window next to the bed, she called Luke. Running toward her, he overlooked if he could see something more or something better, but in that alley, the only things well distinct were only two streetlamps. With their soft light, they lit only that small part of concrete around them.

All around was darker than the night itself, and looking to the entrance of that alley he only could see the lights and hear those noises that had covered that scream of that child creature.
She has looked at his puppet, as if they could have prevented this, but then they have stared at the street, still in search of that child creature.

Luke a bit far from Daria, and her puppet has looked at them, almost perceiving the story of that child creature, and only when he came closer to them, he promised that he would do all in his power to find her.
Even though it was still a puppet, he caressed him, and when those funny strange eyes have closed just for a short instant, Luke understood immediately that the soft puppet was thanking him.

In that apartment, everybody were thoughtful, when a lightening followed by a roar of a thunder, and immediately in the sky has unleashed a rainstom more violent than previous one, and all the scaring glances of Daria and the puppet, have stared Luke.

Daria has placed the puppet on the bed, and she has come closer to Luke. Tightening him to her, she asked, “Do you really start it with this?”
They have looked at each other, and right after their foreheads have touched, he has caressed her face, and after kissing her, he told her: “I don’t leave her alone”, and so saying, he promised that he would go for a walk in the city, and he left the apartment.”
