Chapter 5 finished ✅: Julian Barber’s story continues ! His life is full of twists and turns… between the discovery of the grave, the 3 brother’s murderer and his returning to city life as another person = Thomas Effing (died)

Chapter 4 finished ✅ : M.S Fogg was chosen by Thomas to be his companion like a friend accompanied by Rita Hum, the nurse and housekeeper. Marco read travel stories + walks and discovered more about Thomas Effing (or Julian Barber, his real name) and his background.

Chapter 3 finished ✅: Marco was saved by Zimmer (who sheltered him under his own roof and with his money + food) and Kitty (who made him discover what a romantic relationship was = conversation + sex)

Chapter 2 finished ✅ : Marco living in the street without nothing
