ooh in this au i am a useless assistant mechanic; i’m doing my best, but i’m just not very good at it. i sneak into the workshop at night after being made fun of by some of my peers with my mind absolutely set on fixing one of the androids all on my own - my sights on abbacchio. only, i don’t realise that some of the androids are more dangerous than others and although i do successfully fix abbacchio, i also accidentally turn diavolo on--

abbacchio is the vampire; he’s one of those tortured soul types who is constantly wondering if his nature is good or evil, in between little breakdowns as to how everybody he loves eventually leaves him. we probably meet in a graveyard; i’m not necessarily a vampire hunter in this au (i don’t think abbacchio would be in a position to be causing enough havoc for one to be aware of him) - but perhaps i’m some kind of academic or artist, making notes on the history of the place and the people buried there.

he doesn’t approach me at first. he watches warily from afar (it’s probably someone he loved’s gravestone; the equivalent to his police partner, though this abbacchio was probably not a police offcer). when i am there the next night, he DOES approach me and i am very startled by his presence. how didn’t i see him? was i that engrossed in what i was doing?

my singing teacher gave me the beauty is from the light in the piazza to work on and like... idk.... thinking about being a tourist who doesn’t speak italian whose eyes meet abbacchio’s in an old museum where he’s just Enjoying The Beauty Of Art... wearing this dress
