Because I cannot let the famiglia lose their home.

Just as you cannot let the Siracusans lose ground to foreigners from Kazimierz, Leithanien, and Columbia.

Or am I wrong?

You will do great things, Leon.

One day you will actually be able to realize your dreams in Siracusa. I've always believed this.

I've heard this from you before... Metri.

I said back then you could be my right-hand man. The offer remains, even now, at city hall...

No, grazie. I really don't get along with Lavinia.

And, as you said before, there are things better suited for her, and others only I can handle.

Just like right now, some matters are for city hall to carry out, while others are better for us to do.

Your ideals alone cannot keep Nuova Volsinii alive. This city needs and must have the support of the old famiglie.

You sound so certain...

You met Signora Sicilia.

I'm sure you know well just how happy she is to meet young people with ideas.

Your established rules will keep the famiglie in Nuova Volsinii from running amok, while my ways will gather all the power and spirit of Siracusa.

This will become a new Guns and Order for this city, Leontuzzo.

As Leontuzzo leaves, Demetri extends a hand towards him.

A signal of cooperation. Leontuzzo hesitates for a moment before stretching out a hand himself.

They used to be close, no strangers to sharing hugs or laughter, but this formal handshake now is the first between them.

At the conclusion of their handshake, Demetri returns to his chair.

Then, just like Leontuzzo's father and every Siracusan don, he disappears into the darkness.

The rain is no more. The sky is surprisingly clear and tranquil.

That amendment... are you really okay with it, Lavinia?

We used to want for a Siracusa without even a trace of the famiglie.

I spent more than a decade under the Bellones' shadow, Leon.

I don't mind waiting a little longer.

Then the same goes for me.
