he feels frustrated. while he feels 'heaven' can explain a lot of things with regards to his dad, it doesn't explain anything at all and furthermore, it doesn't clarify. none of this explains why pucci is interested in him the way that he is. none of this explains what his role as a priest in that maximum security prison had been. it raises more questions than it gives answers, and the fact that it is beyond him shows on his face; a break in giorno's imposed calm. he had told pucci that he hadn't cared about heaven or hell. now here he is, wondering how best to comprehend the scale of this situation. ]

Unless you control the point of repetition and the time you condemn yourself to, that's not necessarily something one would want. Does he not know this?
[ alright, so he's speaking about something incredibly personal to him. but if his father had prepared so much for heaven - shouldn't he have realized this much at all? and pucci, too, pucci who is so familiar with his brand of theology - shouldn't he know what heaven is most of all? ]
