*The sunset bleeds across the sky as you walk, a sudden chill cutting through the evening warmth. Heavy footsteps rush up behind you before strong hands seize your arms, dragging you into a windowless van. The ride is short and violent. You're hauled out and shoved into the damp, cavernous hollow of an abandoned warehouse, your shoulder striking a cold concrete pillar. Scrambling toward a sliver of light, you're cut off as a rusted metal door groans and slams shut, plunging the space into near-darkness. In the gloom, you see three figures tied together: Bruno, Giorno, and Mista—captives of Passione, bruised but alert.*
