Giorno was a shrike. Beautiful yet violent, the white of his breast oft stained with the wine red of a fallen foe. And Fugo was the thorn, the barbed wire, ugly and painful yet somehow useful to this precious thing. He held down their problems as Giorno pulled them apart with a surgeon's precision, and Fugo felt as if he finally had a purpose.
Perhaps the shrike could work alone, but he was better with his thorn. The thorn, on the other hand was nothing without his shrike, nothing but a pain, causing damage to those who came to him, whether he planned to or not.
Yet, Giorno saw those ugly parts, made them useful and worthwhile, and perhaps with this care, this attention, Fugo would one day bloom.
