Glad that's over with

[space_ripper]

...Well, I certainly was a little shit, wasn't I? I want to kill whomever was responsible for that.

[un_earth]

....Wait...

...You're that British kid, aren't you?

[un_earth]

...Alright. When I'm older, right? *laughs a little, shyly*

...And yeah. It doesn't look like anyone's gonna hurt me here, and I'm glad 'cause you're here, but I still wanna know...

[space_ripper]

Right, right. *gives him a brief smile*

You've been here for awhile, actually. Something...well, someone's ability, made a lot of people in this area into children.

[un_earth]

...Really? And that happened to you...and to me, I guess, right?
So I'm really older? *furrows brow, trying to really wrap his brain around it*

[space_ripper]

Yes, that's right. And yes, you really are older normally.

Hm, you said you see strange things right? *summons The World*

[un_earth]

*takes a couple steps back quickly*
Yours is huge! Bigger than Giorno's and Aki's...

[space_ripper]

*chuckles a bit* That answers my question. And it is, isn't it? It's a bit taller than even myself. This is The World.

[un_earth]

The World...that's an interesting name.

*approaches it, just staring up at it*

...Everyone has one but me.

[space_ripper]

Named for a tarot card.

*The World just stares down at him*

You do have one later. This is obvious, or you wouldn't even be able to see these things.

[un_earth]

...Wait.
*shifts gaze up to Dio, frowning*
...You're talking about the thing that kills people, right? I don't want that!

[space_ripper]

It's more useful to you later. You don't see the frightening things. And you don't really have much of a choice as to whether or not you get it.

[un_earth]

...As long as I don't see all the scary things, it'll be better. I just don't like to see so many people hurt.
...I'm glad I did meet you, though. Do I really get to live with you later?

*hopeful smile*

[space_ripper]

You do, indeed, Donatello. *gives what can be considered a smile* You can go now.

[un_earth]

...*hesitantly hugs, then turns to go*

Bye, dad.

[space_ripper]

*surprised look but returns the hug*

Goodbye, Donatello.
