Yes.

[digiorno]

. . . Inizio. It means "beginning". Or Esordio — that's "debut".

[kicksdogs]

[A few minutes pass.]

I like Inizio.

[digiorno]

I like it, too. I think it suits you.

[kicksdogs]

This is strange, isn't it?

[digiorno]

What do you mean?

[kicksdogs]

Pretending like this.

Like I can become someone else. It wouldn't even matter here.

[digiorno]

I don't think it's pretending.

Why wouldn't it matter?

[kicksdogs]

You know why.

Since my arrival almost everyone here seems to know everything about me. Trying to change my name and pretending I'm not

It's stupid. This was a stupid idea.

[digiorno]

Please don't give up.

[kicksdogs]

There's nothing to give up! I shouldn't have even said anything so just forget all of this, Giorno.

[digiorno]

I will if that's what you want. As long as you remember that I believe in you and I love you and I'll never give up on you or stop believing in you or loving you.

[He can't answer this right away with the lump in his throat and a burning at the corners of his eyes. Even after their last real honest conversation it was still... hard to hear. See. Those words. The hardest part was knowing that Giorno was sincere too.]

If I'm honest I don't know what I want yet.

But I

love you

too.

[digiorno]

You don't have to know what you want when you're twelve, Dio. I'll be here for you until you figure it out, and long after that.

Chi si volta, e chi si gira, sempre a casa va finire.

[Maybe not, but it feels like he should. Not even a year ago he believed that he knew exactly what he wanted from the world and now...

Now it feels like he's walking unsteadily along the edges of a cliff.]

I should have an idea at least. Otherwise I'm not sure what I should be aiming for.

Tu sei la mia casa.

[digiorno]

Hai una stanza nel mio cuore.

Let's work on your idea, then. You and me. You'll be the brains, and I'll take notes.
