    Summary

    “You’ll have to get used to it if you want to take care of Johnny,” Bruno tells him.
    “Is it not hard for you?” Gyro asks.
    “I would die for him,” Bruno says simply. They both look over at Abbacchio on the couch as he’s already having his final bite. “You have to choose. How much are you willing to do to not just keep him alive, but keep him living?”

    //

    Existence-hating office worker Gyro decides to make a change in his life. He meets Johnny, and through their mutual exchange, he learns to change his perspective on a lot of things.

    Summary

    "From Johnny’s point of view, he could not be staring down anyone but the Devil himself. 
    But then the Devil did what he does best: he proposed a deal."

    At the end of his journey, a grief-stricken Johnny accepts Valentine's proposition. But Gyro is brought into his universe with his own burden, and the combined weight may be too much for them to bear.

    This is a story about what has been and what could be, but mostly about what is.
