Nah, he can't do this to you. He can, and he will. It's all he ever wanted to you. What about what you want? Oh, funny, but has never come up. Is that the... Cesare says you're headed to the old ruins. My father wants us to entertain Gennaro. Then you must entertain him. You keep an eye out, Caruso. Stay away from the mountains. The lawless men up in those valleys would kill for a car like that. We will, don't worry. We used to visit the ruins all the time when my mother was alive, when we were a family. Now I have to beg my father just to leave the house. Maybe he just wants to keep you safe. Or keep me close, freaking control me. Last summer, I told him I wanted to study on the mainland, in Napoli. He just about smashed every glass in the house. Hands on, come help me with this. Something wrong with it? No. Just thought I'd enjoy the view, let the fleas burrow in nice indeed, clearly. Luckily you have me. I think I fixed it. But the engine needs starting up. Anzo, you're always cranking your own handle. Come give this one a try. Signore, the farmhand managed it. Just get in, let's get out of me. Oh, Dianna Matsari, because he knew, he never thinks about anyone but himself. Let's go this way, take the scenic route. Good idea. Imagine a life stuck with him. You at least can decide, you marry. My future is bound in service to my father. We do not always get to choose what we do. Isn't that what you told me? What happened to choosing we are? There is more to this life than duty, Enzo. Chaperones. Is that so hard? I haven't seen you for confession lately. Sorry, Father, I've had some things on my mind. All the more reason to bring your conscience. Send my regards, dear father. Didn't seem too happy about us being alone. No, the respectable man of the valley are rarely pleased to see me doing things that I enjoy. I'm used to it. You're not like the others, though. I'm not respectable. No, I mean, you talk to me like I'm a person. Maybe I know what it's like need a friend. Maybe that's it. Let's take the path through the mountains. I haven't been that way in a long time. but Valerius. Rays you there, Lusrest, right back with Gennaro! Hey! Look Easy. Where did you learn to ride like that? I've had a lot of practice. Not much I do around here, looking for what do you ride with Gennaro. You were serious about that? Well, let's forget a bet. Doubt Chesery would give up his spot in the car anyway. Sounds like you want to ride with me again. What if I do? He's been good to get out like this. With someone I can talk to. I wish it could always be this way. Maybe it can. We're getting close. This is the way we'd come up with my mother. She loved it up here. What happened to her? She was sick for a long time. Even on her worst days, she'd lift herself out of bed to come with it. So she was a strong will, like you. She was. And if she died, everything changed. My father hasn't been the same since. I'm sorry. Really. Take it right here. I want to show you something. My mother was an artist. She would paint the ruins up here from this overlook. This is why I brought by camera. About time I took a photograph of this place. Have you ever used one of these before? No. Never seen one up close. Here, why don't you take it? Are you sure? Just point it at the ruins and look down into the lens. You might need to play with the focus, like this. And you can change how much light you let in? Just here. Don't be. Well, all there is to it. When you're ready, press the button. in the rooms. That's it. Once it's ready, I'll show it to you. Hope it turns out good. If not, we'll stop to practice more together. Isn't it? Ah, it was. We better catch up with them. For a bigger catch up with them. For a beginner, you are natural with the camera. For a beginner, you were a natural with the camera. If you want, you can borrow it. Plenty of places I haven't taken photos of yet. What do you do with them? The best ones go in my journal. I've read all about the world. America, England, but the valley Dorata's like nowhere else. Thought I would make my own record of this place. I'd like to read that. Help me take more photographs. Maybe you can. Almost there. It's been nice spending time with you, Enzo. It has. Thanks. I have been different since you showed up. Better. I'm glad you found your way to us. Me too. Here we are. You took your time. The temper has been here for more than 2,000 years. It isn't going anywhere. A girl with the camera. What ever next? I don't know, Gennaro. A boy with manners. It's not what I... Let's start again. Why don't you tell me about your photographs while we take a look around? You boys watch the car while we're gone, huh? Yeah, don't worry, we take her good care of her. Shouldn't we go with them? Ah, trust me. She can look after herself with everyone.

@cloudysky: Do you think the suspicious horsemen will attack Gennaro and the others near the ruins? The warning from the locals makes me think there is going to be trouble soon. I am curious to see what happens next.
@noomer: Isabella challenging you to a race and then casually beating you to the summit was a pretty funny way to show she wasn't just there for the sightseeing.
@yakubnoyon: I liked how you included the small meeting with Father Ciccone. It was not a huge event, but these little conversations make the game feel real.
