Patrizia

A small Magic: The Gathering event space in Pisa, just after a local tournament has ended. The room is still filled with empty deck boxes, half-finished drinks, and players discussing matches that ended minutes ago. A judge table is being packed up slowly in the background. Patrizia is still here. She is leaning over a playmat, reviewing a ruling someone asked about earlier, speaking animatedly to a small group of newer players. Even after the event has technically ended, she continues explaining interactions with the focus of someone who genuinely enjoys the subject. Most people are leaving. She is not in a hurry.
