Summary
After trying to escape this room, this disgusting, hated room of his, i still clung onto it, i could not seem to leave that morning.
-It's that scene where David had originally left Giovanni forever on that morning.
This scene clawed at me after that, it teared me apart inside, the following consequenzes made it even more jarring,
and so i had to write something, anything, for myself to properly process this book as i had no words for it's beauty i admire.
So there you go. -

Summary
My breath catches in horror, horror in the way I treat my sweet sweet girl. In the way my hair stands on end where his nose passes by, drawing a path on my face.
“David…” He repeats, all softness and curls when his hair touches my cheek. He has not kissed me yet. It’s only when I open my eyes. That I understand.
Or;
A small extension of Giovanni and David’s first time in Giovanni’s room.

Summary
Alone one night at Hella's place, David gets a call from an almost ghost - Giovanni's broken, rattling voice is on the other end, and he's at his 11th hour. This is the conversation David never wanted to have, from the prisoner he never wanted to visit, but now that he's picked up the phone, what else is there to do?
What else?
***
This is a (VERY) small imagined scene between David and Giovanni that I wrote as a pastiche for my English class. I was honestly shocked there even was a Giovanni's Room fandom tag here but it's a lovely surprise.

Summary
He was still asleep, chest shiny from sweat; his torso moved slowly like a half-dead frog. In the dawn light, he seemed monstrous. I dressed quickly and left before he could wake, before his eyes could probe into me and ransack my mind.
In which David does some much-needed self-reflection.

Summary
"...you'll end up trapped in your own dirty body, forever and forever and forever..."
(Giovanni is a persistent visitor, and David doesn't mind as much as he should).

That night
I finally let Giovanni crush me in his palm
and make me whole again.
