Every night Clara had the same nightmare: she walked down the street and suddenly realized she was being chased, she was so scared that she hadn't turned around even once to see who he was or how far away, maybe she was just imagining everything, on the other hand she was pretty nervous lately, and she felt her heart beating faster and faster and probably if she didn't wake up covered in sweat it would explode in her chest. That night, however, something had changed: in her desperate run she had encountered an open gate, had entered quickly and had hidden herself. Her pursuer passed by and her heart gradually resumed its normal beat.

Ogni notte Clara faceva lo stesso incubo: camminava per strada ed improvvisamente si accorgeva di essere inseguita, era così spaventata che non si era girata neppure una volta per vedere chi fosse o quanto fosse distante, forse si stava solo immaginando tutto, d'altra parte ultimamente era piuttosto nervosa, e sentiva il suo cuore battere sempre più forte e probabilmente se non si svegliava madida di sudore le sarebbe esploso nel petto. Quella notte invece qualcosa era cambiato: nella sua corsa disperata aveva incontrato un cancello aperto, era entrata veloce e si era nascosta. Il suo inseguitore passò oltre e il suo cuore a poco a poco riprese il suo battito normale.
