    Summary

    It is an English translation of my previous work, telling a imagined story about if Johnny gets a chance of travelling to the past and meets young Gyro as a patient in Zeppeli's clinic. As he hesitates to change the destiny, the ending may not be a happy one.
    I think some details could be expressed better in English and even Italian, so I try my best to finish the translation with DeepL's help.
    Hope the personal pronoun and my poor sentences don't bother the reading too much.

     

    *The title is inspired by two songs, Ringo Sheena "ギブス" (Gips) and Nightwish "The Poet and The Pendulum".

    Summary

    For Johnny, the race is over. As he goes with Stephen Steel to the hospital for his latest injuries to be healed, both swallowing his defeat and realizing the intensity of all he has recently lost, he learns something he was craving more than anything.

    Getting back a slight spark of hope changes everything.

    Or the Neapolitan alternate ending I wanted to give the characters.

    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.
