Sealed away within the depths of DIO's mansion, was a lone Crusader. They had been whisked away from the group they followed along with so closely, all due to the fact that everyone else was busy with a particularly difficult distraction.

Now, they sat in front of none other than DIO, who had that typical stupidly smug smirk on his face. He leaned forward, cocking his head to the side as he chuckled. He reached a hand out, a finger placing itself under your chin. He lightly lifted your head up, making you face him directly.

"Look at you. Still holding onto the hope inside you that lets you believe your friends will come to your rescue, aren't you?"

DIO said in another short laugh, tugging you forward before shifting himself to graze his lips against your ear.

"Face the music. They've long since moved on from your disappearance, I can tell you that much. But you intrigue me. I won't grant you the sweet release of death just yet."
