    Summary

    “A commission is being created to investigate the circumstances of President Valentine's assassination,” said Steven, unfrozen. “We are, regrettably, being forced to cooperate with the government. The Steel Ball Run has been—” he paused, searching for the correct word, his hand on his chin, “Criticized, to put things mildly.”

    “What does that mean, exactly?” asked Johnny.

    “The race. The presumed loss—it traumatized the nation. Those who did not understand Valentine’s true nature are panicking. He is being martyred, foreign governments are issuing proclamations, his disappearance is being considered a horrid crime. The United States government is trying their very hardest to implicate me in the conspiracy if only to have someone to point a finger at.”

    Gyro had barely a breath for understanding to take root in his mind before Steven continued, a pained tightness in his voice: “They believe that I was involved, of course, but Mr. Joestar, the commission is attempting to compile evidence to prove that you assassinated the President of the United States.”

    In which killing the President of the United States has repercussions.

    Summary

    "Childe didn’t believe in gods, in Celestia, in anything holy. He was the product of all that was unholy–the product of bloodlust, chaos, destruction. No, Childe was not a man of god, and he knew that.

    And yet.

    If there was anything holy in this world, Childe found himself thinking. It was in the way Zhongli extended his open palm to him, unwavering kindness, blinding sincerity, and unequivocal mercy. It was in the shape of his palm, in the spread of his fingers.

    Childe looked at Zhongli. He stared at him like he’d never seen the man before, and his mind blanked."

    🔸️

    Childe went too far.
    It's all he can think of through the sound of blood pounding in his ears, his own rattling breaths, and the rain pouring down in unforgiving torrents around him.
    He fucked up.

    He's going to die.
