Analyzing the open questions related to the two stories of zigrino and gambero, the Author notes the lack of courage in making a possible leap in the dark. Older people are more prone to this leap into the future, probably because young people have lost confidence. On the contrary, most interviewees accept the proposal to relive their past that the latter story offers. The influence of age is remarkable: the elders react more emotionally to the proposal, whereas the youngest answer rationally either accepting it in order to deepen their self-knowledge, or rejecting it due to the impossibility to change their experience.
