Valentino enters his bedroom. He takes off his coat and places it on the coat hanger. He flips the switch on and it illuminates the room, but quickly dies out. He sighs. At least he knows the layout of his room. Valentino navigates in the dark and sits in his personal makeup studio. He turns on the lamp next to the mirror. Staring at the reflection, he sees Quemaleon behind him. Before he could react, black tentacles are coiling his body.
Valentino: What the fu-!?
ASTL smashes his face against the mirror.
Quemaleon: *Yellow* Pleasure to see you again, Val! Coming back from pimping your whores or whatever the hell you guys do? Must be rough work taking advantage of those under you.
Valentino groans in pain. He tries to pry himself free.
Quemaleon: Now now. If you keep struggling, the tighter the grip gets. Just chillax, man. We're just going to have a bro talk. *Leans against the wall* Like wanting to know any info on getting to Heaven?
Valentino: Rrgh! You think I'm g-AAAAAAAAH!
ASTL breaks his right arm.
Quemaleon: *Blue* There's usually a warning to these, but I knew you wouldn't take me seriously. And do not think of using whatever ability you have. If I so much as see your eyes glow, I will desecrate your bodies in ways you've thought and probably have done to others. But we can avoid all of that, if you cooperate.
Valentino: Hehehe. You think you're hot shit? Let me guess? This is your first time interrogating someone? I'm honestly disappointed that Alastor hasn't thought you any better. I was angry at first, but I can see why he's interested in you. Not only have you single handedly sabotaged my club, but you also managed to sneak into my room without raising an alarm. That takes talent, kid. A shame it's being wasted on him. Tell you what? I'll forgive everything you've done to me, if you join me. I can give you so m-
ASTL strikes his face.
Quemaleon: *Violet* A kind offer, but I must politely decline. The Neon Blooded Thespian works for no one but thyself.
Valentino: Oh yeah? That means you're completely alone and don't have your daddy and mommy looking after you. After this is over, I will make sure everyone will hunt you down!
Quemaleon: *Blue* Cool. I needed to put my skills to the test anyways. Since I know you won't tell me anything, I'll be taking my leave. But before I do that…
Giorno's theme
ASTL breaks both of his legs. It then repeatedly punches his face.
Quemaleon: UTE UTE UTE UTE UTE UTE UTE! UTE!
With one final blow, Valentino is sent flying and crashes against the closet. Quemaleon leaves the room. He notices the coat.
Quemaleon: Nice. I'll be taking this. Nyo!
He yoinks it and crawls on the walls to escape from the window above. He stands at the ceiling, looking over the city before him.
Quemaleon: Today marks the day of my mission. In order to succeed, I must change my role in this act. I will reject my protagonism! *Turns to you* Even if I never find a way to Heaven's Door, I will make everyone that got in the way of my ascension pay for their crimes! *Black* Starting with Alastor.
The show is only just beginning!
