It didn't get any better on Dio's end. By the time Jonathan had finished talking this time, he was not even holding back, looking every bit the wreck he was as he sobbed openly, hands falling away from his face as mucus joined his tears in trying to fall from his face.

Was he being unreasonable? Probably, but he wasn't going to apologize for it. Not this time. "So what now, Jojo?! Are we just supposed to go back to our separate rooms and pretend..." his tears rushed back anew as he gave another sob, "pretend none of this ever happened? Our relationship? Is just over, like that?!"
