Lorenzo and Olivia (Me and You)

     During Chapter 5 and 6, Lorenzo got a phone call from a woman while he was hiding in the basement. It was Olivia, his half-sister. She called him to make sure if there was anybody at home. Olivia was the daughter of Lorenzo's father and another woman from Como. She was born before Lorenzo's father divorced and married Lorenzo's mom. Lorenzo only met Olivia one time when he was twelve and he heard about his half-sister sometimes while his parent were talking about her in the car.
     Lorenzo enjoyed spending his time in the basement until Olivia came and disturbed him.At first, Olivia just came inside of his room and started to find the box that she gave to his father. For Lorenzo, he was happy that his stepsister did not care why he was hiding in the basement and he was curious about his sister. However, Olivia came again at 3:00 am and she asked if she could sleep there. Lorenzo refused her because it was his cellar and there was only room for one person. He felt that he had organised everything and now her sister came and mess it all up. Lorenzo let her in because she started to shouted out loud that Lorenzo was hiding in the basement. He let her in and only allowed her to stay for one night.  In the next morning, Lorenzo woke up while Olivia was still sleeping. He wanted to leave her for a little longer until she woke up. In my opinion, I think Lorenzo felt sorry about what his dad do to his sister, and he sympathized about her life. However, he wanted to clear that he was tough and one night is one night, she need to leave after she woke up. Although Olivia's condition was bad because she probably got the flu, Lorenzo wanted her to leave, because there was not enough food for two people. He felt very sorry about himself because he kept wanting a sick people to go away. After that, his phone rang, and it was Lorenzo's mom. During the call, Lorenzo's mom wanted to talk to Alessia mom. Under the feeling of nasty, he begged Olivia to pretend to be Alessia's mom. 
     At last, Lorenzo finally let Olivia stayed with him. One reason is that he promised that if she helped him and he'll swear that he would do anything for her. And in fact, Olivia acted perfectly like Alessia's mom, if she stayed with him, she could help him anytime when his mom call. Lastly, I think it was because of the sympathy. She was his half-sister, who grew up without a dad. She lacked love, and now she was sick. He felt sorry about Olivia, and maybe he wanted know more about her.
