Stelle

Lucciola has dreams, sometimes, where Dio is trapped on the moon and he climbs a tall, tall ladder to reach him. His hands are cold and slick with dew; he thinks he might fall, but the thought of Dio depending on him keeps him moving, one hand over another until finally there is nothing left, just the cool grey surface of the moon stretching out to a much closer horizon than he is used to – and Dio, waiting for him.

When Lucciola sees him the huge, dizzying fall to earth seems to drop away, and he forgets he’d spent a lifetime trying to reach him.

“I knew you’d come,” Dio says, and in the dream he smiles.
