Antoine is late. Again ! He had promised. Is it his fault if a lunatic puts a parcel bomb on the subway? Is it his fault if suddenly his subway line was stopped for an unknown period. Is it his fault if he finally has to go all the way around Paris to reach his destination? No, of course not. He wondered about the possibility of taking a taxi, an uber? And then, he told himself that at this hour, Christmas Eve, freezing rain … He would have lost much more time, for sure..

That night, Elsa wakes up suddenly. She glances at the clock. Four in the morning … But what’s the matter with her? It’s the third time this week. Last week as well. But exhausted, she always falls asleep again in seconds, without remembering. Today, it’s different. She has already slept over five hours, almost a full night, at least an ordinary night for her. All of a sudden, a slight noise catches her attention. Where does it come from ? Her wandering thoughts cease instantly to give place to extreme concentration. It comes from just above her head. Or rather slightly on the right, in the corner of the ceiling, the one that separates her bedroom from the bathroom. It sounds like footsteps, discreet but also irregular.

Côme crosses paths again with infected people on his way home. He has been recently working in Piero di Cosimo’s painting studio and the way to his parents’ house is long and risky. He walks along the docks and under bridges he meets all the world’s misery dealing with its gaiters and its pustules. He deeply wonders whether he should take a break while the epidemic fades. Thinking back, he should have become a tailor, a family tradition.
