    Summary

    Waiting for the garage doors to lift up, Bucciarati begins anew. “There’s something I need you to do. I would’ve done it myself but I can feel that I’m in no state to be certain of my own survival, and would not find a navigator I’d trust in the short time given to me— I wish I could tell you earlier, truly, but I can’t pick up work calls at…work...” he stumbles, “and this is as much of a heads-up as I could give you.”
    “For what?” Giorno urges him to get to the point.
    “I need you to complete a race.”
    “A race?
    Actually, no, he needs more elaboration.

    Every five years, Passioné hosts a long, dangerous and high stakes race through the Napoli area. When Polpo's chosen rider turns up all but dead a few hours before it starts, the man seeks a substitution.

    Or, Giorno and his no good, very bad, absolutely terrible evening; lovingly referred to as Part 5.5

    Summary

    Life may march on, but death is a different beast entirely. Where one is progress; the other is stagnant. Where one is finite; the other is eternal. A beautiful facade awaits those who have passed. Another life after life seems almost inhumane in a way. The endless, cruel wait to see a loved one once again. But, what part about life was humane to begin with?

    Summary

    He closes his mouth and lets his gaze fall to the wood of the table, noticing the checkered pattern of the tablecloth— four-sided bastards— and he certainly hears when Bucciarati starts talking Giorno down and explaining the lines he’s just crossed as gently as he can in his current pissed-off state but he’s thinking about something else by then.
    What am I scared of?
    The idea that he’s losing his mind; for real, this time, or even more than before? That unreality turns out to be a slippery slope, a gradually worsening state of consciousness that ends somewhere he cannot even imagine?
    The idea that, somehow, he’s not?
    “Have you ever felt like what is around you does not match what you see?” He interrupts Bucciarati, his eyes on Giorno and Giorno only; who returns his gaze with a look so calm and cold and steady it might as well be the horizon line of a polar glacier.

    How one mundane decision sent Mista down the path to discover a painful alternate reality that might be alien to him but familiar to us, and through it many more ones even stranger, and rougher, and incredible, and perhaps revealing something about the wider universe.
