The next day I woke up feeling better than ever. I was refreshed and went to the bathroom to prepare for the new day that was beginning. Unlike the "exorcist," who was still asleep, I was more than ready for the day ahead. After finishing my preparations, I woke Cesare, who didn't want to get up so easily.
"Oh, come on… I know you're already awake, and I don't care about your reasons for staying in bed. Get up, or I'll feel obliged to pull you out by force."
It seemed my threats were ineffective, so I grabbed his legs to drag him out of bed. After a few moments, I managed to pull him enough that he fell out of bed before I got dressed in my bishop's clothes and put on the old engagement ring he had given me.
"Antonio, you could have been gentler this morning. Don't forget that if it weren't for me, you'd still be possessed by that demon, so you should be thanking me."
