The sound of footsteps wakes Cecio, swollen eyes cracking open to see the photo on Muros desk, a summer's day at the beach, shortly after Ramettas hair grew out, taken by a kind passerby. They're all climbing on the rocks, Conficcare holding onto Tesoros arm for balance, and Muro’s eyes following him and Rametta gleefully scrambling upwards.
He smiles every time he sees it, the perfect warmth of sun and joy, the air filled with salt and laughter, seemingly returning to him when he thinks back to it.
Muro loves photos, loves documenting the good days, capturing their unconventional family off guard, to preserve the moment as a memory forever. Photos cover the wall, from snapshots of youth, to school photos. Golden hair is plentiful, as well as silver and black and orange, the paper capturing moments as each of them grew.
One of the older photos, battered, shows a young Muro, Conficcare and Tesoro among other students- or rather delinquents- hanging out at the old garage where Muro used to work. He may not know them, but His older brother had pointed out a few of the names over time: Marco, the adult, leaning against the desk and supervising; Elena, smiling down at Muro from where she sat; and Baccio right next to her, laughing at some joke with Tesoro.
