At the service of Lombroso, who proposed the theory in which a person is born as a criminal, The Fortunato family wanted to abolish such an idea since they had, as precedent, a great lineage of impeccable robberies. Thus, they decided to demonstrate the rigor, competence, and honesty they could conceive in a new family member.

It should be clarified that the Fortunatos were characterized by being long-lived individuals. Indeed, the grandmother still could tell stories about the arrival of electric light as she was one of the first people to witness the event, and it may be thought that Fortunato's fascination had its origin in getting all brilliant objects. Yet the grandmother believed the glare of the electric invention would always outshine the stars, and the artificial light would collide every night with the fantastic vastness of the universe. According to her, people would lose humility and, with it, common sense.

They decided to steal the common sense.

They went on to face new things. The idea was to ​​rebut a theory in which they, as a family of swindlers, were born predestined to be thieves.

Such an opportunity would arise with the new family member.

Hence, the Fortunatos implemented the most privative method to disprove Lombroso’s theory. They considered the crib as an element that leads to sleep, and the light as the energy that invades the sight. By combining these two elements, they generated the perfect temperature and luminosity to dazzle the child’s eyes. A Fortunato blinded by every glint he could steal.

With that, they ensured the invalidity of the research made by Lombroso and his students.

But without even considering it, the opacity fell upon the Fortunato family. In the moment of plugging the crib in, the child’s eyes were dazzled, and the Fortunatos, lit up by the unceasing light, emptied their eyes with the imponderable white that led them to nowhere. The family was blinded by the luminescence and knowing that, at the end of their gazes, darkness will not argue.

Finally, their pupils were so dazzled by the most brilliant object that they were just limited to squint and never see each other again.
