Summary
Not many people asked for Passione's help, at least not outside of Italy, knowing what exactly the criminal organization was about.
The fact that entrepreneur Oroku Saki asked for his help, was enough of an unusual request to capture the Don's attention. So much so, that he had to come himself and see what his deal was about.

Summary
Giorno had posed it as a favor, but Leone knew better: This was anything but one. It had even come in that particular tone of his that was “it’s an order you cannot disobey but I won’t be mad if you don’t follow through, just disappointed” that he had perfected with Bruno’s help, the cheeky bastard.
Or: Leone and Donnie trauma-bond.

Summary
“Damn it, Don! Can’t you see we’re worried? Can’t you—can’t you see I’m worried?” Raph asked, pointing an accusatory finger at Donnie’s plastron.
“I’m sorry,” Donnie choked out, bringing his arms around himself like a hug. “I’m so sorry.”
“Ya got nothin’ to be sorry for, Don. That’s not what I was tryin’ to—”
“No, you don’t understand,” Donnie said, voice low and raw, and now that he’d started he felt like he’d explode from the pressure of it, everything he’d been holding back. “I’m so, so sorry that I—that I killed you.”
***
After so long, Donnie is finally home from that horrible future, and he’s fine. Everything’s fine.
If only his brothers would believe that.

Summary
Fear is logical and sensible – the body’s way of preserving itself as instincts await their beck and call. It’s okay to be afraid. But the tricky thing about fear is that it’s not as easily fixable as some broken parts. He can’t just will it to go away when everything feels so uncertain. Shadows await around the corners and twists of the trail his thoughts are leading him down, and he can’t seem to remember his way home.
