Five days later.
Five days after the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Luca was back in Germany, quietly seated in his living room with a steaming cup of hot chocolate.
Seated before the television, he was watching a nature documentary airing on National Geographic Wild.
The program followed a peculiar story about an adult male leopard—fully grown, yet still living with his aging mother deep in the savanna.
At his age, the leopard should've been hunting on his own, establishing his territory, but instead, he was still dependent, a burden that drained his mother's dwindling strength.
One of the narrators made a remark that the pair's downfall might not even come from the son's helplessness, but from an invading territorial male who'd soon find them, ending their fragile coexistence for good.
Luca couldn't help but agree with that.
But he wasn't directly watching the documentary.
