"I got an actual copy! Can you believe it?"

Fabio was hugely excited, telling his roommate about his two days covering the summit. The last day, Marta had somehow got him passes to the press conference, and he had received the full accredited press treatment, including the preliminary cocktail, the informational kit and an original copy of the Messelia Declaration. He liked to emphasise the fact that it was an "original copy". It wasn't a copy that he downloaded and printed, he had actually received it at the Palazzo Malzo. How cool was that?

He showed his friend the copy, three pages long, and printed with an official heading that included the AU logo. He knew he would treasure that forever, and he promised to himself that, no matter how, he'd be there for the next summit, and the one after. He'd be there.
