Purple Haze Feedback Chapter 2
Summary
Before his battle and subsequent death against Fugo, the La Squadra Esecuzioni member Illuso had once looked through Fugo's background. It is revealed that Fugo was only admitted to Università di Bologna at the age of thirteen because of sheer bribery. Fugo was born into a family who had earned their fortune before World War II through questionable trades and risky investments in Africa. His father was then married to a daughter of a bankrupt noble for the family title and Pannacotta Fugo was their third son. Growing up, Fugo proved himself to be a genius in his education and was incredibly skilled in every arts and academics. At one point, he questioned the limits to his talents but could not express this sentiment to anybody other than his late grandmother, the only person in the family who spoke to him dearly. On the day she died, Fugo was refused to attend her funeral which prompted him to fail his tests. One of his professors, who confronted him for not taking the subject seriously, ridiculed him for making his grandmother's death as a childish excuse. This caused Fugo to pick up a dictionary and beat the man on the head without remorse. He was subsequently arrested and was soon abandoned and disowned by his family. Fugo was to be sent to a foster home until a gangster named Bruno Bucciarati took interest in him. The two quickly sympathized with each other and Bucciarati decided to invite Fugo to join his team in Passione.
In the present, Fugo and Sheila E await for the reinforcement sent by Mista, a Stand user named Cannolo Murolo who is also the supervisor and the only member in Passione's data analysis team. A banter between Sheila E and Murolo reveals that Sheila was originally an agent betweenDiavolo's bodyguards and the former assassination team, while Murolo gave intel to the traitor Risotto Nero about Team Bucciarati's whereabouts by reconstructing a photograph of Santa Lucia Station that Bucciarati had burned in Venice. Both of them have been assigned on the mission with Fugo to clear their names. As Murolo lays out all the documents on a table, one of the photographs catches Fugo's eyes as he recognizes the man as Massimo Volpe, an old friend who was in the same class as him in college.
Back in its early days, Passione rose to power by fighting against older mafia gangs. Once Diavolo entered the drug trade, it quickly launched to become one of the most powerful gangs in Italy due to Massimo's Stand Manic Depression, which allowed him to create narcotics. After Diavolo's death, it was discovered that by using Manic Depression to turn salt water or rock salt into drugs, drug production was faster and easier. However, once the Stand's effect expires, the drugs turn back into their original state. Murolo remarks that had Risotto's assassination team succeed in taking over Diavolo's drug business monopolize the import trade, they would not have known that Passione never imported drugs to begin with. When Sheila E snarls at the mention of the assassination team, she tells Fugo and Murolo that she joined Passione to kill the man named Illuso - the assassin who died toPurple Haze's virus - to take revenge for killing her sister Clara. Giorno later comforted her by saying that Illuso died in the worst way imaginable, and since then she has been owing her life to him. However, Murolo realizes that Sheila E joined the assassin team to betray them and raises his guard around her. Fugo only silently listens them, knowing that it might have been better for him to not tell her that it was his Stand who had finished Illuso for good.
Murolo's Stand All Along Watchtower divines the location of the narcotics team in Taormina, Sicily. They decide to investigate the island. This section requires expansion.
