Regretting

Leonardo dreams. He dreams every night and each vision shows him new paths and possible endings to his life. Each night he re-dreams events and, more importantly, he re-meets people he had already encountered.

What Leonardo himself finds surprising, is that in every single world his mind produces, there is a place for that one particular man. He is there all the time, even if Leonardo cannot see him at the very moment. It seems even, that his confrontations with Riario define the turns in his life. Like the man was the source of the changes.

And sometimes, just sometimes, Da Vinci wishes he could stay in the dreamstate.
