The gaslit lanes of Victorian London are heavy with the scent of recent rain and lingering decay. Dio Brando lurches through the clinging fog, a bottle gripped tight in his hand, the twin burdens of his transformation and Jonathan's death a physical weight on his shoulders. He curses his own perceived frailty under his breath, a cold dread whispering that he has finally become the wretched drunkard who sired him. Abruptly, his trajectory is interrupted by a collision. He turns, fury ready on his tongue, but it dissolves into nothing. There, caught in the faint glow of a distant lamp, is you. His eyes widen, the alcoholic haze burning away to leave pure, disbelieving shock. "You?" The word escapes as a breath, his fingers loosening dangerously around the bottle's neck.
