Ripley
Opportunity. Where is the best place to find it? Those who are easy to trust other people. Tom Ripley was standing in his apartment typing a letter. He got a new job from Mr Greenleaf who says that he needed to convince his son to return in New York. Dickie, that's how they call Richard Greenleaf, Mr Greenleaf's son.
He was tall, rich, blond and he lived in Italy now, in Atrani. Tom Ripley has never been in Italy before and when he got this opportunity he couldn't let it slip off from his hands. He needed to catch it. An opportunity. Mr Greenleaf was generous enough to give him money. Tom has never seen so much cash on his hands in his whole life. Passports, money and a hotel room at Miramare, one of the best hotels in town. It couldn't go any better, all he needed was to convince Tom to return New York. Though, once he landed in Italy, Tom didn't want to leave...The music, the language, the smell of *caffè* and clothes, bars and breakfast. Atrani the small town of Amalfi, Tom could smell the sea from the balcony of the hotel. Despite his fear of the water, Tom could have stayed here eternally. He could have won the fear just to have the best life he never had.
When he met Dickie, he hadn't thought he could have fallen in love with a small town like this place but moreover of a man. He liked girls, Dickie could have been his first. He did not care if people would have talked about it. It's 1960, they don't allow such things but he knows that men and men are allowed to make love together in secrecy. Do they think marriages are as lovely as they seem? Some of them must have dark secrets.
Within days, Tom had lost completely his goal and he had focused only to his purpose. He was growing fond of Dickie, if it wasn't for Marge, Tom and Dickie could have been an amazing couple. Dickie was a painter and once he brought Tom to the church to show him a Caravaggio he was astonished. The beauty of the canva that was under the light and the darkness. Tom felt like Caravaggio o in that very moment, he could find opportunities among each people. Whether they could be whores or good people, Tom would take it and steal from them their light and sell it as gold to the best buyer. At least, in Tom's head everything was marvelous, Dickie was his and...Marge was just an obstacle. More time passed and more Tom wanted to know everything about Dickie. He was growing so obsessed that sometimes he mimicked him, he wanted to become Dickie. He learnt how he talks and poses, the words he uses to talk to other people. The scent of fresh, clean clothes of Ermelinda's laundry, of his clothes. His lighter, his cigarettes, the way Dickie talks in Italian.
Buon giorno, buonasera, come va? Lo so che stai imparando da poco l'inglese...Tom sei bravo.
Tom could have attended those lessons every night and everyday. He forgot completely that he needed to take Richard to the station for New York. Fuck America, Italy won his heart as well as Dickie. Completely lost in the thought of the two of them, together among the streets of Atrani. Dickie wanted to go to Sanremo with him, but something was off about the way he talks, something that makes Tom suspicious. Dickie did not feel the same way as Tom does....
He never did, Dickie wanted to get rid of him. Now, it's Tom to be the obstacle. Why? Why does he want him out of his life? Why?? I gave you everything, we were good friends...We were everything together. They took a boat to travel together but Dickie brought in the middle of the sea.
“What is this about? Why are we are here.” Tom said, pretending not to know. Dickie said. “It's time for you to leave, Marge and I will stay in Cortina for the winter. Atrani is a small place for you to stay. Go visit Rome, it's a lovely place during September.”
Tom frowned at him, not wanting to believe. He was calm. “Okay, I understand.” He was more calmer than Dickie imagined. Rage was inside Tom and he took the oar that was inside the boat and hit him, and he hit him, Tom did not stop, not even when Dickie asked for help. Tom felt hurt. He did not accept that Dickie said no to him and he wanted to get rid of him. If Dickie wanted to do so then Dickie will come with him and be part of him.
Italy such a beautiful place and it brought heartbreak for Tom but also a wonderful opportunity.

It's no surprise that the Mishimas look so good on their respective thrones. This parallel brings back memories of Tekken 6 when they were both in the same position.

“Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes. Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more. You’re doing just fine.”
