[Reading this, Fugo's chest feels tight with a pain he doesn't entirely understand. Giorno's right: although he hadn't exactly pinned down these anxieties, he could sense the shape of them in the shadow of Giorno's blunt statement. This decision to take on the orphanage, to bear the burden of these children, and make their wellbeing his direct priority, is the purest distillation of his dream. This is Giorno Giovanna's life's work.]
This is work I have experience with. I am glad, always, to lend these skills to you.
I ... cannot speak on help of that nature. I'm not sure where to begin with how to look for it. The best answer I can provide is that, perhaps, the first step of closing those wounds is to give them a safe, comfortable place to live and grow. That is something I believe you have the ability to see through.
Because that "eventually" won't happen. We will not allow it to happen. [Not "you": we. Giorno and Fugo and anyone else Giorno trusts with these children. Whatever obstacles are in front of them will be dismantled.] If there is a strain on the infrastructure, if it begins to fail, we will either shore it up, rebuild it, or create our own. It will sustain itself.
They will never have to face the streets.
[Fugo rarely speaks in certainties. He's no good at faith. But he believes in Giorno. His dream, whatever shape it might take in this strange and awful world, was and is his future. Whatever pain these children have suffered, the worst of it is now behind them. That is the future they need to build.]
Thank you for being honest with me. Even if you cannot stop thinking about a year from now, we can think on it together.
