you know, looking at this and seeing the burn scars (awesome detail btw) it just occured to me that while fenoglio tells us basta burnt his arms, supposedly noone knows (because he always wears long sleeves). But like, wouldn't his hands be burnt as well? And yet that is never described.

Inkheart was one of my favorite books when I was a kid, and all my love was for foxy face Basta❤️ that superstitious bastard was and is my favorite character.
