## Before Returning to 2001

Giorno Giovanna, now referred to as GIOGIO by both his subordinates and contemporaries, is discussing with his inner circle regarding how they were going to celebrate his 10th year as Passione's leader. Halfway through the meeting, he receives a strong urge to go to Florida, USA, as a result of the birth of The Green Baby. However, he keeps this to himself, excusing it as a migraine, and decides to secretly send a few mafiosos to the location first, using them to scout the area and determine whether he should ultimately go based on their findings. The urge to go eventually becomes too powerful, and Giorno decides to embark on his trip to Florida nonetheless. Despite his Consiglieri Guido Mista and Pannacotta Fugo requesting to come along with him, Giorno decides to go alone; the two end up secretly following him to the United States, ignoring Giorno's orders to oversee Passione for him while he is gone.

When Giorno finally arrived at Port St. Lucie, Florida, Enrico Pucci commanded Made in Heaven to accelerate time, causing Giorno and many nearby civilians to watch in confused horror as to seeing the world around them shift forward without reason. Giorno commands Golden Experience Requiem to stop the time when he notices Guido and Pannacotta approaching him. The Stand was successful in holding the three of them in limbo as the rest of the world was reborn, and they collectively ask each other what had happened. Just as Giorno was about to process why his Consiglieri are here, Emporio Alnino tricks Enrico Pucci into causing Weather Report to kill him, resetting the universe again. This caused Giorno and his Stand to watch a wormhole in the sky emerge below them, sucking the two as well as the Consiglieri into it. Giorno attempts to call out to Guido and Pannacotta, noticing them being torn into other wormholes, and he shuts his eyes as he approaches a blinding light. When he opens up his eyes, he finds himself in the middle of pushing his ear into itself to impress a few corrupt police officers in front of the Naples International Airport. Giorno wonders why he felt déjà vu before one of the cops impatiently asked him if he was going to give him his payment. Giorno then realizes he was back in 2001, after hearing an announcer say the date on the intercom. The cop asked him again in an angrier tone, which Giorno secretly hands him the money and cigarettes, remembering exactly what that moment was.

The next hour, he reflects on how he was reliving the day he eventually meet Bruno Bucciarati, reliving the moments where he encounters Koichi Hirose and Leaky-Eye Luca before selling of the former's luggage for money. He wonders whether he is fated to the original Diavolo's fate of infinitely living life without reaching the end as well, but decides to endure what will come. As he sat in the trolley like he did years ago, he thinks to himself about how he knew exactly what has been happening, and wonders why he feels excited to see Bruno again. However, when the coin rolled to him, Giorno is shocked to find another person picking it up instead.

## Before Meeting Giorno Giovanna

3 of the Hitman Team #47 members are currently sitting together, after Olio Nero was requested to investigate a local artist accused of murder. He decided to take his second-in-command Zura Grattachecca and third-in-command Cassio Montagna with him, leaving the rest of the team to discuss about how they ideally wanted to die. Anita Cicchetti came in just as Olio and the other members left, jumping into the conversation when Andreas Arancini asked her how she would want to die. She responds by saying that she simply wanted to see her husband again, if an afterlife existed, and possibly disappear without any memory of her to stay on earth. Clara E. agrees with her sentiment, although she says that she doesn't want to consider dying yet due to still caring for her sister and hoping that she died doing something good. Andreas laughs at the latter sentiment, reminding them all that they were criminals by being members of Passione, and therefore would find such a task impossible, causing Clara to roll her eyes. He then goes on to as the fourth member present, Taehyung Pescatore, who had been silent the entire time. Anita comments that Taehyung is often uneasy and even more quiet whenever he is not around Cassio, to which Andreas suggest that they can use the opportunity to know Taehyung's thoughts. The younger man simply stated that he wished to die peacefully without pain. Clara and Anita nod in agreement, with Anita stating that it was the most merciful way to die. However, Andreas critiques Taehyung's sentiments, saying that he should at one point try to confront pain and overcome it, and criticizes him further for not being an adult about it. Clara tries to

Meanwhile, Olio, Zura, and Cassio are driving to the supposed location of the elusive street artist who goes by the name Marsala.

Olio decides that he would investigate the killer of Leaky-Eye Luca, revealing the apparent killer's name to be Giorno.

Clara escorts Zura back to the headquarters and Zura tries to show Clara the

It was revealed that Anita was actually talking to Marsala.
