[And this is tonight's episode of Ultra Edgy Teens, with your host, Jotaro Kujo.
He remembers a little about the things Giorno's said about Diavolo prior to this. Things about the Stand he used, erasing time. Things about the way Giorno beat him, how he punished him for his transgressions. Their discussions about power, about how wielding it feels like a test instead of a gift, how it makes you wonder who decided that you could be trusted with something of that magnitude.
Maybe hell isn't a place so much as it is a state of being. Hell is ten thousand knives suspended in the air with their points all facing toward you, and waiting.
And hell, sometimes, is wanting to stop feeling like this when this saturates everything you do, clings to it, seeps in under your skin and won't get out, screams at you with words like failure and fault and they're dead because of you.
Star Platinum doesn't touch him, which makes for an odd contrast. Where Gold Experience is in constant motion, Star Platinum is a silent guardian, poised and waiting at the opposite end of this moment that isn't a showdown, but has all the elements of one anyway.]
You're not going to hold back, are you.
[It's not a question, just a confirmation. Everything about it is quiet and declarative, making sure everyone is on the same page before they start putting their fists through it.]
