He only knew it was his mother's family, one as ancient as the Gattuso family, yet everything about it seemed shrouded in shadows, with his mother as the only real connection.

The corners of Caesar's lips twitched, as if he did not know whether to cry or laugh. In the end, he kept his expression completely neutral.
