It seems the only thing his parents can see is perfect Lucca and how Nico will never be able to hold a candle to his spirit.īut tragedy lends itself to more tragedy in Brooklyn and Nico’s life when a good friend of theirs, as well as Lucca’s, kills himself. ![]() At school, he becomes invisible, not talking to anyone – not even old friends. ![]() Nico takes out his frustration by pounding the pavement, the track…running running running.
