It: Leonardo aveva trovato la sua voce.

It: "Hai fatto bene," disse lei, sorridendo.
En: "You did well," she said, smiling.

It: "Non hai bisogno di carte o simboli per essere un leader."
En: "You don't need papers or symbols to be a leader."

It: "Grazie, Giulia," rispose Leonardo, stringendo il suo amuleto, ora recuperato.
En: "Thank you, Giulia," Leonardo replied, clutching his amulet, now recovered.

It: "Oggi ho imparato che autentico è meglio."
