Chapter 10
Aftermath
This chapter contains an image of NSFW!
After getting back to the hotel, Giulio and I don’t have any energy or strength or will to report back to Bernardo…
Bernardo seems to understand our situation and doesn’t say anything piss-annoying. All he does is say,
Bernardo: Don’t worry.
…to us. Nothing more, nothing less.
After refusing Bernardo’s offer to call a doc, I take nothing but a first aid kit and hole up in my room. Giulio…
I haven’t said a word, but he goes to another room, probably one that’d been prepared for him by Bernardo. I…
Gian: …Shit… The fuck am I getting relaxed for. Fucking restless, stupid…! |
I curse myself and throw the unwearable clothes and shoes across the floor. I’ve got to get rid of them later…
I get in the bath and soak myself under the shower…
Gian: …! Ow…! |
The pain that’d been lying dormant up until now wakes up hale and hearty under the bath water. I wash off the dirt and blood clinging to the thin scratches, check the problem spots that’d gotten a hit or two…
There’s some marks on my face from when I’d gotten pushed into something, too. Looks like the kind of cut that’d fester if I stick a bandage to it. Like I’d gotten on the bad end of a razor. I wash it…
And I wash the place where Giulio attacked. A spike of pain… Even after washing it, it throbs. No blood’s coming out, but it feels really, really weird there…
Gian: …Giulio… That stupid idiot… |
Surrounded by water and steam, I swear. I wash up. Long after the dirt’s stopped getting washed down the drain…
…I stay under the shower and the bombarding water.
Bernardo: But … amazing job on returning safely. I’m sorry… To think you’d actually attack… |
Bernardo pours some whiskey into the coffee cup in front of me, and … looking like he’s reminiscing on something, continues.
Bernardo: To think, that you would truly annihilate the GD’s advance troops. You two … really are something. The Lucky Dog and Mad Dog … hm… |
Gian: …I did practically nothing. Giulio’s … the one who did it all. D’you go … and take scout the place out? |
Bernardo: Yeah. With that, it would indeed be impossible to clean it up. By the time my men were heading down, police and firefighters were already flooding into the Bronx. |
Bernardo: …It looks like the front page for every morning paper will be the same tomorrow. |
Gian: Probably… We did whack that many… It’s about impossible for the coppers to turn a blind eye to this one. …They’ve got an arrest warrant out on us? |
Bernardo buries his face in between his interlaced fingers and gives a horribly fatigued moan before saying,
Bernardo: I’ve said this earlier, but … you don’t have to worry about that. The one who ordered the attack … was me. I will never sell you out to the police.
Gian: Seriously, I’m counting on you… But, even if it’s the Bronx … with all those bodies, even the old Bondone’s not gonna be able to cover that one up. |
Bernardo: I agree, too. On top of that, the old geezer … sig. Executive of the Board of Direttores isn’t picking up the phone. Either he’s working himself into a flurry or he’s planning something…
…Phone… Something about the word catches in the back of my throat. …What was it…
Bernardo: That’s why we’ll be taking care of the Bronx wildfire. …Don’t worry. I won’t let you or Giulio make it to the morning papers. |
Gian: R-Right… Phone… Phone…! |
Bernardo: Hm? |
I practically fly straight off the seat. I dash back to the room and look for the memo from yesterday – the memo that’d been on that Max GD person.
…There it is! Thank the Lord I’d left it on the desk before going to sleep last night. I’d been hoping to look into it when I had the time.
If I’d brought it with me today, it would’ve gotten soaked and turned to mush… I open the memo…
Gian: …3, 4 … 7, 6… This’s it…! |
The numbers I’m staring at on the corner of the memo right now and the numbers I’d seen the GD gangster ring up on the phone I’d blasted apart with the shotgun match up in my head.
…No question about it. The two are the same number.
I don’t know if this is a number to the GD HQ or the one they use to call for reinforcements.
But, Bernardo might know something…
I turn the memo over to Bernardo and I explain what I’d seen today… Bernardo’s eyes narrow and he takes in the numbers on the note. Silence.
Then…
Bernardo: A GD Executive was calling this number?
Bernardo returns the question, a rarity itself. I nod back in reply.
Gian: Yeah. No question ‘bout it. I thought … maybe it’s a direct line to the GD headquarters. If so, then maybe we can use it for something? |
Just as I’m starting to get a little pumped up…
Bernardo shuts the note and looks off into the distance before giving a clear-cut answer.
Bernardo: Unfortunately, this is not the number for the GD headquarters. It’s also not any number I’ve flagged… |
Gian: Oh… Is that so… …Wait, you know the number for the GD HQ?! |
Bernardo: Well, because there’s an address, I also know the number. Although, what I have is nothing more than the number for their surface headquarters. |
Bernardo: Besides … the number on this memo isn’t Rockwell’s, where the GD headquarters is located. …This is a local number, from inside Daivan. |
Gian: Daivan’s?! Why’re they…? Where were they calling inside Daivan? |
Bernardo: I suppose I’ll look into whose number this is… |
Bernardo smirks and, with memo in hand, stands.
Bernardo: I’ll be returning to my room. Gian, today … you’ve done well. You can rest yourself easy for the rest of today.
Gian: …I’ll take you up on that. Oh right, where’s Giulio…? |
Bernardo: He just went into the new room for him earlier… I haven’t seen him since. …Has something happened today?
Bernardo’s worried voice. But … there’s no way I can talk … about that…
Gian: No … it’s … nothing important. It’s, how d’you put it… I just got off on the wrong foot with him today. That’s all. |
Bernardo doesn’t question any further. Wordlessly, he gives my shoulder a few pats before returning to his room. I…
Gian: …Shit, I’m still fucking shaking… |
There’s no cold, but my hands and body are shivering. I can’t put strength into them. They tremble like I’m suffering from some kind of cold or something.
…Now that I think about it, I didn’t have anything for lunch today. Still, I’m not in the mood to go out or order room service.
…I don’t think I can even put water into my stomach today…
I roll over on the bed… Suddenly…
Gian: … |
I look over at the bed next to mine. …I wonder if Giulio’s gonna come back here…? …I… …Will I let him…?
Gian: …That idiot… |
Giulio attacked me… Rather, fucked. Raped. Wrecked.
I’m still working up a rage over it, but…
If I had to say, it wasn’t just getting done in by Giulio. It was more seeing Giulio … The Giulio – that silent, cold, fighting machine, ruthless as a road roller – like that…
…like a dejected puppy, tail between legs, that can’t even look me straight in the face… That pisses me off much, much more. If anything…
Gian: …That’s … that’s not you, right…?! |
My thoughts take shape as words and leave my mouth, but … there’s no one in the room but me. …I can’t even get up the will to down some booze…
Gian: …Shit… |
Gian: …U-Uwah! …A-Ah…!! |
… … …Shit!!
…Crap, the sun’s set… …The light’s left, getting replaced by dark. The sight…
…The pitch black darkness … turns red… …I see the Giulio from that time in my mind again… …Shit!!
…How can I sleep like this…?
…Can I hold out? …Until the war’s over…?

I think more than the yandere-ness, it’s that he’s quiet / proper and pretty… Judging from the rankings, most of the otome-fave charas that ranked high were like that (with the exception of #1), and the same goes for many of the BL-fave charas. The more mature ones or the quieter / more proper ones.
Either way, Giulio has a very unique state of mind that I don’t see handled properly in many BL, so I was very happy to find a character like him. Even if he … may do things like in 10-4… ._.

I love you! Guilio is so sexy and I’ve been waiting for you to translate this particular scene since the very begining! This might sound bad, but I’m a huge rape fan in yaoi. I thought this one was very well done. Giulio’s character is absolutely fascinating and makes you wonder how he got to that point psychologically.
He might have an extreme case of bi polar personality disorder. One minute, he’s beating Gian up, pointing a knife at him and digging his face in the dirty ground while raping him. The next, he’s apologizing and pleading like a helpless child. How is he so twisted and bloodthirtsy yet innocent? So complex…keeps me so entranced by him. I also have been wondering if Giulio has his way with corpses. Although I’ve heard he was technically a virgin till Gian. (Also hott!)
One final concern….why was Gian blushing when it didn’t even feel all that good at all? lol

Like the police. And running. *hugs*

Bipolar personality disorder doesn’t mean what you think it means, I assume. 🙂 Formerly known as “manic depression” patients exhibit alternating episodes of mania and depression to the extreme. Giulio appears to have neither, as far as we’ve seen of him. He’s neither been in a super-elated mood nor was he ever incapable of getting up in the morning.
Is it possible you either meant Borderline Personality Disorder or Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly “multiple personality disorder”)?
The former would explain extreme mood swings, but not much else. Also, I would say Giulio clearly isn’t experiencing a mood swing here, he has trouble even recognizing Gian in the beginning.
The latter is still debated to even exist at all and not be better explained as a multitude of other disorders forming a clusterfuck of i’d-rather-have-the-measles-please. In any case I’d strongly oppose this assumption.
In my opinion, without giving away anything the readers can’t know yet, Giulio is best explained to have psychotic episodes. Combined with his terribly violent job this is bound to escalate into equally horrifying manifestations. Such as playing with corpses. His unhealthy obsession with Gian comes into play and – well, let’s say he can be really glad for the effort Giulio to not just go to his happy place where what he’s doing is fun. He wouldn’t have survived it.

I was referring to the last chapter. I and I wasn’t completely serious about Giulio having that particular psychological disorder. I was running my mouth, speculating. I would assume you arent a professional either so thanks for the advice but im still going to question what you say and still look into it myself. my sister is going to school for paycology. And i wouldn’t take this so seriously because it isn’t like anyone could accurately diagnose him since no one knows what’s really going on in the complexity of his brain. Giulio doesn’t say much and nobody’s knows what he’s thinking often enough to make an educated deduction of what disorder he has exactly

Good! Always question what people put out there, especially on the internet. 🙂 When you ask your sister for advise, I’d appreciate it if you could drop another comment here afterwards, I’m really interested in what she’d suggest.
I’m not taking it that seriously and apologize if I seemed aggressive, I didn’t mean to be.
Also I must admit to “cheating” a bit, because there is a collection of official short stories written from the other four CR:5 members’ perspective, and with Giulio… you get a good insight into how weird his mind works. That doesn’t mean that I’d presume myself qualified to make an educated deduction, naturally.
In any case, I was merely trying to start up a debate. So again, if you find anything else that could fit, please do tell. I like this sorta stuff. 🙂

That’s one of the main things that shows he’s not “just” yandere. Something’s up, and this route is about finding out just what that is.
On another note, I personally wouldn’t even categorize as a yandere – or at least, not the way most yanderes are yandere (I used that word way too many times in that sentence…). Glad you’re actually reading into the writing that much =)

OMG this. THIS. I am spazzing out, completely mind-blown right now. The NSFW at last! Really glad that the whole Youtube business hasn’t gotten you *too* down =/
Giulio is the first true yandere I’ve met in my BL career and although there was an immense amount of squick in the previous chapter my heart just went out to him at that line – “It looks like he’d never expected, not in a million years, for me to come back, or for me to reach out again…” OH GOSH -glomps- It just seemed that he doesn’t have as much control over himself as he would like, and he knows himself that what he’s doing is wrong and yet…. well. Shit happens.
Gian *has* to forgive him (because this is the best route~!) and I can’t wait to see how they’re going to resolve this. I felt so sorry for both of them through the whole NSFW last chapter, even though NSFW normally makes me pervhappy~ =3= There was just so much pain on both sides… =( But like you said I think it’s good that it breaks BL convention of raep=good because it obviously isn’t true in most cases in reality. Gian has risen even higher in my respect for him as a BL hero (he was already the highest to begin with, he just keep raising the bar O.o) on how he handled the whole thing, particularly because he was big-hearted enough to go back and drag Giulio home. I can definitely remember characters becoming major b!tches after pervscenes even if they were consensual. Kudos to Gian! -cheers-
I’m expecting the next few chapters to be lots of plot from the GD phone number and a significant dollop of nice sweet Gian/Giulio making up. Waiting eagerly for your next update! (Next week? Please? =D)
P.S. He *was* blushing at several moments in the game. ^^; Probably just to make the CGs a little prettier and less painful-looking…

Big-hearted … yes, that is a way to describe Gian. It’s what I liked most about him. If Gian had been a major biatch in this situation, then Giulio really probably would’ve been arrested and shiznit would’ve been worse than it already was. I’m just glad he had his head on straight even after the ordeal. Not that the attack wasn’t … important enough to warrant a biatchfest, but still. Life vs. death.
…Hm. Well, waiting is good for the soul. You’ll have to wait a while to get what you want to see, lol. But I will tell you that the next scenes are my favorite in the route … other than one of Giulio’s bad endings ^^;;;
