Gea abita in un condominio sui Navigli di Milano e non oltrepassa mai i confini del suo quartiere. Ha ventisette anni e si arrangia come tuttofare. Crede nel riciclo e nel dare nuova vita alle cose che aggiusta e che distribuisce, insieme a pillole per lo spirito – poesie, origami –, nell’ambito della sua “economia circolare di quartiere”. Vive sola, ma ha dei buoni amici, come l’ottantenne pseudo-portinaia o il tredicenne che sogna di diventare autista di corriera. Nessuno però, della sua età. Perché Gea nella sua età non ci si ritrova. Così come non si ritrova nel mondo.

Ever since we met two years ago, Eden Burkehammer has made everything better. The big defenseman sets me at ease.

I don’t want to mess with that. Just the thought of losing him sends a cold zap the full length of my spine.
