This is just gorgeous, Kat. I am delighted to read that it's part of the longer Vecchio thing, that you are serious about bringing this whole story to light. I think you're doing brilliantly with it so far. You've really got to the creepiness at the heart of the story, that loss of identity that's just so damned scary. And you've got Vecchio pinned, for sure.
My "silly pants" icon is way too silly for this.
