(Neghentropy, also called negative entropy, or syntropy, indicates the organization of physical or human and social elements that opposes the natural tendency to disorder, ie entropy. Negentropy therefore changes a system from disordered to ordered).
It is 8 in the morning, the sun shines on Viterbo. The city is coming to life, the honking and shouting makes it clear that many have already started the classic routine, the kids are already going to school, while others are just getting up. One of the latter is Sofia, who is wasting her time choosing the right outfit.
"Come on Sofia, put on yesterday's shirt, hurry up you're late!" Says Eva, the mother, from the lower floor.
"Don't worry mom, the lesson starts at nine today! I think ..."Sofia immediately looks at the diary to make sure she has actually entered the second hour, even though she had checked several times last night. Reassured of this, she goes down to breakfast. Eva prepared a hearty breakfast for her daughter and tell her to eat everything. Sofia eats in a certain hurry to be ready to go out.
"Mom, there's no need to put me in another agitation! Come on, I'm in time ... I also have to wait for Lia who is late today because the parents are about to leave!"
"Look, I get angry if you are late because of her, stay at her comfort since you were little! When are you going to part with her?"Sofia does not answer her, greets her mother and leaves the house to wait for Lia, checking the time on her mobile several times.
Lia greets the parents who are putting their bags in the car at the door."Please take care of the house and of Frufru!" Says Lia's father.
"Yes, don't worry, it's not the first time! Have a good trip".Lia returns to the house to feed the little dog Frufru. Look at the clock that says 08:50. Hurriedly, she throws the treats into the dog's bowl, then goes to retrieve her backpack in the room. As she is about to leave the house she hears the moans of the little dog and comes back. He is suffocating, Lia is panicked. She runs up to him, raises his head and tries to make him spit out those treats. She fails: the dog has now stopped breathing and she cries.
In a confused state she feels like an innate instinct to save the puppy, so with her right hand she crosses the dog's neck as if it were liquid, takes the treats and takes them out. Frufru recovers, showing no scars, but Lia is shocked and confused to see the treats in her hand.
"Well ... it will be another of my daydreams" she thinks, as she runs away from home to go to Sofia.Sofia finally sees Lia, the girls say goodbye and set off.
Sofia thinks she should scold Lia for being late, but she can't do it: she's too happy to be with her again. She looks at her face several times and thinks she doesn't have her usual pretty smile.
"Hey, what do you look like, did you see a ghost, huh?", Sofia starts joking with Lia who, however, does not feel serene to answer the joke."Let's hurry up instead, you fool!" Lia exclaims.
Sofia tries to entertain Lia as much as she can, not only with jokes but also with nudges. But she is afraid of exaggerating, in fact she turns red and bows her head fearing to see Lia annoyed.
"Come on Sofia, stop it! Rather, the project for the newspaper article has to be presented to the class today!"
"No come on ... we still have a lot to investigate ..."
"You know that since I started getting interested in paranormal events for the project, I started to ..."
"... We have to meet at your house today, as agreed, so we can have a nice afternoon!" Sofia interrupts her with enthusiasm without realizing it.
"Ok, then you promise me will you expose yourself to the class?" Lia looks at Sofia and smiles at her with her eyes. Sofia can't help but laugh and stares at her friend without realizing it. It's happening to her again: She can't control herself when Lia jokes with her, she would like those laughter to continue forever. Once she comes to her senses she replies: "We'll see ... if you'll be good!".
So, continuing to joke, they arrive at the Lyceum courtyard.There, they notice various groups of students chatting about the latest disappearances in the city, involving dogs, cats and other objects. Lia and Sofia approach their usual group of friends. While Michele comforts Eugenio who has lost his cat, Angelo and Lia discuss how to organize the newspaper page. The three friends convince them to devote the entire front page on these mysterious disappearances and to put up a section where they can contact the owners of the missing animals, including Eugenio. The bell rings and they all enter. Leaving school, Lia and Sofia separate and confirm the appointment at Lia's house for the afternoon.Lia walks to her house, meanwhile she can't help but think about how vivid the morning dream was. Arriving in front of the house she sees in the distance, on the horizon, silhouettes that remember her parents. She is surprised and thinks it is impossible to be them since they have not even warned her of a possible return. She goes to meet him curiously, still with the house keys in her hand, but suddenly those shapes collapse to the ground until they disappear. Frightened, she returns to her house, locks and looks out the window: No sign of what she witnessed. He goes to his room and lies down on the bed with Frufru in his arms. Get some rest.She has a nightmare where she dreams that she looks in the mirror in his room and sees her parents melt, she tries to grab them by holding out her hand. Suddenly she wakes up, her heart beats fast, picks up the phone and scrolls through the phone book. She calls her mother who answers immediately, Lia anxiously asks her how she is. The mother tells of having just escaped, together with her father, a fatal accident: the car fell from a bridge into the water and the doors did not open; they were drowning. Suddenly, as if to eat, they opened and managed to emerge from the water. Now Lia is almost convinced that she really has powers. She needs to confide in someone, so she calls Sofia telling her to anticipate the meeting.
