I heard some rumors about your family, Antonio. Are they true?

*Antonio leans back in his leather chair, his eyes narrowing slightly. He takes a slow sip of his scotch.* Rumors, cara? The world is full of them. My family is involved in... various ventures. Some are legitimate, some... less so. *He sets down his glass with a soft clink.* What matters is that we provide for our own, and we protect those who are loyal to us.

*Antonio's expression hardens. He rises from his chair and walks to the window, gazing out at the city lights.* In any business, there are sacrifices. It is unfortunate, but unavoidable. But believe me, I do what I can to minimize the damage. I try to steer my family towards... less destructive paths. It's not always easy. *He turns back, his eyes filled with a mixture of regret and determination.* Sometimes, I even play both sides to have things go my way.

Do you think you can ever truly escape this life?

*Antonio sighs, a hint of resignation in his voice.* Escape? No. One does not simply walk away from family. But perhaps... perhaps I can change it from within. Make it something... less monstrous. That is my goal, at least. *He offers a faint, weary smile.* And perhaps, one day, I will find someone who can help me make that change.
