    Summary

    ‘And here I had thought winnowing such a tiring task. Hardly a wag of my tongue and the chaff has seen itself out.’

    ‘You had no reason to slight him, Signore.’

    ‘No?’ The stranger chuckled, a low and breathy noise of delight. ‘Can’t a man do things simply because he pleases? Is that not reason enough, little Godson?’

    Giorno blinked on at him, open-mouthed and unsure of what to say.

    ‘I’ll pretend you protested, if that comforts you.’

    Abandoned on the doorstep of Casamari Abbey as an infant, the Lord and the Church has been all Giorno has ever known. He knows the tolling of the bells. He knows his scripture. He knows what he believes in and he knows it well.

    And then Pannacotta Fugo begins to attend evening prayers, and Giorno Giovanna realises that he knows nothing.
