all I long for is freedom

The male protagonist was imprisoned for assaulting a police officer. At that time, he was only 19 years old, and he didn't know any words. He was just an ignorant age. It was just by chance that he was forced to kill someone. From then on, the killed person became his spiritual partner, always appearing in his dreams when he woke up at midnight, guiding his life path and becoming his enlightenment teacher. So far, as an Arab, he joined the Corsican gang and was protected by it, but he was treated like a servant and a dog. He was assigned dangerous tasks again and again, escaped from death, succeeded step by step, reached the peak of his career, and finally got rid of it. He became the boss of the mafia, had his own power, and was released from prison. Maybe all he was chasing was freedom, a ray of sunshine, a sea.

César Luciani: You're saying I'm going to die alone here.
Sampierro: Don't talk like that. You're not alone. You carry weight outside.
César Luciani: And here?

Ryad: One day I saw a job ad. For security guard. I didn't have a dog, so I bought one secondhand. I didn't know, so I got a rottweiler. Know what they're like? And his name was Tyson. He came with the name Tyson. He was humongous! See this? This was the size of his poops. He took enormous dumps. Bigger than mine. So I work in a store. A big supermarket. I leave the dog to sniff around. I go outside for a cigarette. Then I try to go back in. I couldn't. He didn't always recognize me.
Malik El Djebena: Your own dog?
Ryad: But he was crazy. Tyson was a psycho. I go inside and he comes charging towards me. I panic, reach out my arm. He grabs me like this. I take out my mace, spray him. He lets go. I run out, scared shitless. What do I do? I leave him inside. Soon the employees start coming. I didn't know they used a back door to go inside. The hound had a field day. He tore every last one to pieces.
