With the murder of Tonino Pireddu, Orani slips into mourning. "I am truly heartbroken," exclaims Don Pietro Borrotzu. "It seems there is no way to experience the days dedicated to faith or entertainment without them being tainted by grief."

No longer a young man, he has also seen the form and substance of barbarity change. "This type of crime," he explains, "is a new form compared to what we experienced in our youth. Before, there were opposing attitudes between families, and you more or less knew why they happened. Today, everything is more complex. Why do we miss the point? Why are the culprits never found?
