[ Giorno wants to say something akin to "You came back" but somehow, that doesn't sit well with him. Fugo wouldn't have thought that he would have come back. A decision like that would have been too illogical for Fugo. How could they trust him? He left them in a time where things were uncertain both ways.

...except the way that Fugo chose. Defecting was a rational choice; the third option. While it ran the risk of being the target of both sides in other circumstances, it would not happen. There was no way that Buccellati would have given an order like that.

And yet, something else happened to bring Fugo back. Something happen that made a compelling enough reason for Fugo to swear his loyalty to him. Giorno doesn't know what that is nor can make the connections for that, unfortunately. ]

For many things. [ Giorno says this carefully. There's still a lot he doesn't know and what he knows is not proven truth. ] I'm not certain of all of what those may be, but I'm sure there are plenty.

However, for now, I'm thankful that you're here.
