    Summary

    The moon asked the sun, “What do you know of love?”

    “It burns,” said the sun. “It brightens. It is something you make and then give away.”

    “Don’t listen to him,” said the clouds. “This big ball of gas doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”

    “Yes, I do,” said the sun. “Who but me makes the roses grow?”

    “We do,” said the clouds. “Love nourishes, like the rain. We turn the hills green and fill the creeks so they will sing in their creekbeds.”

    “Why do you ask?” said the sun.

    “I think I might be in love,” said the moon. “I am trying to understand.”

    Summary

    Recently, Mista keeps excusing himself out of team dinners, always citing dates with his “boyfriend”—which is such a pathetic lie that even Abbacchio starts sending him pitying glances when he thinks he’s not looking. They expect him to drop the act soon, to tell them why he’s been so busy as of late.

    Except that Mista doesn’t drop any act, because there’s no act to drop. It’s not his fault Giorno thinks he’s not ready to meet their Not-Dead teammates!

    Features: meeting the family, Mista loving his team, a wedding, and a healthy amount of confusion.

    Summary

    “Manners,” The stranger choked out, and Eiji humored him with a pointed look and a raised eyebrow. “You’re worried about manners when someone just had a gun to your back?”

    Stopping the faucet, watching the pink swirl down the drain, Eiji shook his hands to get the excess water off of them. He stared at that man in the mirror once more, “Yes, manners.”
