[It's not a fair question to ask. He knows that, he knows even as he asks it, and another sob racks his body at the unfairness of it, at how merciless and selfish he can be in the midst of his own pain. Even now, knowing how much Fugo is hurting, too, Giorno doesn't stop and pull himself together, push his hurt away in favor of keeping Fugo's in the foreground. He hates himself for it, but right now there's nothing else he can do.]
[Where is he--and at the very least he doesn't ask it again, just crumples until his face is pressed against Fugo's shoulder, his shoulders shaking. It hurts him, it does, so so so much, the way he feels tears streaking down his cheeks and making a mess of his face and Fugo's shirt. It isn't fair; he doesn't want to look like this, he doesn't want to be like this. Especially not for Fugo, who needs--something better.]
[Except all he is is Giorno, really, anymore.]
I need him . . . [His voice is small and desperate now, thick with tears.] Where is he? Why--why can't I keep him here?
