[It's not a question and it's not a request. But neither is it really an order.]
[For all the reasons that Giorno has, Bruno shares in them. There are practical considerations, of course. It may just be the two of them, but there's no reason to split up and they'll be safer together. Bruno will be able to keep an eye on Giorno even if he doesn't need it and Giorno will be able to watch Bruno's back. But there are other reasons as well that are not any less rational, but far more emotional.]
[Bruno folds his other arm across his chest, resting his hand on the forearm of his other. It's true what he said. He hasn't had enough time to miss Giorno. Not really. His last conscious thoughts before he ended up here was placing his faith in Giorno to finish what they started and finding peace in that faith. And now he finds himself grappling with being alive again and confronted with someone who has had time to mourn and grow. He doesn't want to hold Giorno back, won't allow himself to do that, but he also doesn't want to be alone either. Bruno has only ever been as strong as the people behind him. The people with him, he corrects himself. Bruno should be standing behind Giorno now, called upon when he's needed but not overstepping. He can't expect them to fall into old patterns like this every time and certainly not forever.]
[Vaguely, even though it's foolish and pointless, he wishes he could see it. He wishes he could see what Giorno has carved Passione into. What sort of don he is exactly. He'll have to settle for this. And that's not such a bad thing. It's more than Bruno would have otherwise and it matters very little beyond that they're together. Of course Bruno will stay.]
[It's just a fact that Bruno will stay with Giorno. Bonds like this simply don't end in death.]
