When I saw 'il Signore dei Lupi,' I didn't want to accept that it was a higher existence than me or my famiglia.

You might see me as a disobedient son, or an unqualified successor.

But I've never tried to deny who I am.

If you were wrong, then I will prove it to you. If I was wrong, I'll rethink everything I have to do.

But what was never an option, is hiding at home while other people fight for their lives.
