Story Transcript:

It: Il sole d'autunno tingeva il cielo di Milano con sfumature dorate, mentre il vento giocava con le foglie cadute sul tetto del grattacielo.
En: The autumn sun painted the sky of Milano with golden hues, while the wind played with the fallen leaves on the skyscraper's roof.

It: Giovanni e Luca, in piedi al centro della terrazza, si guardavano con intensità.
En: Giovanni and Luca, standing at the center of the terrace, looked at each other intently.

It: "Non puoi capire," disse Giovanni, la sua voce grave e seria.
En: "You can't understand," said Giovanni, his voice grave and serious.

It: "Non è solo una questione di noi due.
En: "It's not just a matter of us two.

It: È la reputazione della nostra famiglia."
En: It's the reputation of our family."

It: Luca incrociò le braccia, il vento disordinando i suoi capelli.
En: Luca crossed his arms, the wind disheveling his hair.

It: "Ma per quanto tempo vuoi nascondere la verità?
En: "But for how long do you want to hide the truth?

It: Non è giusto."
En: It's not fair."

It: "Giusto?"
En: "Fair?"

It: Giovanni sollevò le mani in segno di frustrazione.
En: Giovanni raised his hands in frustration.

It: "Sai che cosa succederebbe se tutti sapessero?"
En: "Do you know what would happen if everyone knew?"

It: Luca scosse la testa.
En: Luca shook his head.

It: "Non possiamo vivere nella paura del giudizio.
En: "We can't live in fear of judgment.

It: Io voglio essere libero da questi segreti."
En: I want to be free from these secrets."

It: Giovanni sospirò, pesando le sue parole con attenzione.
En: Giovanni sighed, weighing his words carefully.

It: "Papà ci ha sempre insegnato a proteggere la famiglia."
En: "Dad always taught us to protect the family."

It: "E se la protezione significa nascondere bugie?"
En: "And if protection means hiding lies?"

It: insistette Luca, con occhi brillanti di determinazione.
En: insisted Luca, his eyes shining with determination.

It: Il silenzio si distese tra di loro per un attimo, interrotto solo dal rumore dei clacson lontani.
En: Silence stretched between them for a moment, interrupted only by the distant sound of car horns.

It: Luca fece un passo avanti, il suo respiro visibile nell'aria fredda.
En: Luca took a step forward, his breath visible in the cold air.

It: "Sono stufo di questo.
En: "I'm tired of this.

It: Se non lo dici tu, lo farò io."
En: If you don't say it, I will."

It: La minaccia di Luca pendeva nell'aria come una scure.
En: Luca's threat hung in the air like an axe.

It: Giovanni sentiva il cuore battere forte nel petto, spinto dalla paura e dall'amore per suo fratello.
En: Giovanni felt his heart pounding in his chest, driven by fear and love for his brother.

It: Era il momento di decidere.
En: It was time to decide.

It: "Va bene," disse infine, con una resa che balenava nei suoi occhi.
En: "Fine," he finally said, with a resignation flashing in his eyes.

It: "Hai ragione.
En: "You're right.

It: È ora di dire tutto."
En: It's time to say everything."

It: Luca rimase immobile, sorpreso dalla confessione.
En: Luca stood still, surprised by the confession.

It: "Davvero dirai tutto?"
En: "Will you really say everything?"

It: "Sì," confermò Giovanni, "ma solo a noi.
En: "Yes," confirmed Giovanni, "but only to us.

It: Dobbiamo iniziare facendo pulizia dentro la famiglia."
En: We need to start by cleaning up within the family."

It: Il cambiamento di Giovanni, dalla protezione alla verità, colpì Luca come un fresco soffio autunnale.
En: Giovanni's shift from protection to truth struck Luca like a fresh autumn breeze.

It: "Non lo dirò a nessun altro," disse, la tensione nei suoi muscoli rilassandosi.
En: "I won't tell anyone else," he said, the tension in his muscles relaxing.

It: "Ma dobbiamo fare in modo che non ci siano più segreti."
En: "But we must make sure there are no more secrets."

It: Mentre le ombre serali si allungavano sul tetto, Giovanni e Luca si abbracciarono, una promessa silenziosa di un nuovo inizio.
En: As the evening shadows lengthened across the roof, Giovanni and Luca embraced, a silent promise of a new beginning.

It: Il vento continuava a soffiare intorno a loro, ma portava con sé la speranza di giorni più chiari, liberi da pesi segreti e bugie.
En: The wind continued to blow around them, but it carried the hope of clearer days, free from the weight of secrets and lies.
