[Giovanni is sitting on top of the school rooftop just outside of the greenhouse. The comm is sitting on the rooftop several feet away indicating either Giovanni purposefully set it away from him to record this or purposefully set it away to not accidentally hit it and turn it on. He looks solemn, face and even his body with the way he has one knee

I'm sorry. I know what it's like to be separated from family.

[betrayedblade]

Grazie... it is hard but I should be used to it by now. [Except, you know, this is the longest its ever been before. Sigh.]

[hamonatrix]

After my husband was killed...I was forced to be apart from my son for most of his life. He was nearly a man grown by the time I saw him again.

[betrayedblade]

...

I am so sorry, signora.

[hamonatrix]

It's all right. My son is here with me now. But I will always miss my George. And Caesar...

[betrayedblade]

Bene. That is one good thing about this place at least. I am sorry nonetheless for the rest, signora.

[hamonatrix]

Thank you. I miss Venice, also. But I count my blessings.

[betrayedblade]

You are from Venezia?

[hamonatrix]

Si. Though I was raised in England, and I couldn't tell you where I was born.

[betrayedblade]

Ah, I see. Bene. Venezia has its wonders.

[hamonatrix]

It certainly does.
