After checking that his hair was affixed and Lorenzo had not sent him any new messages that would make him anxious, Tommaso hurried out of the house, without his mother being able to notice it. Having to explain to her what she was doing, where she was going, and why it was something she could very well do without since he didn't like lying to her, and doing it wasn't even that simple. Tom felt guilty enough for it, but nothing stopped him from heading to Leonardo's house. It was something he couldn't explain: he was just doing it, like when he knew his best friend in kindergarten as a child and it was impossible to get away from it. At that time, even though he had been attending kindergarten for more than a decade, he felt like a child who had yet to learn about the world.
