Giorno, Fugo and Abbacchio arrive to the famous ruins of Pompeii. As the trio is walking toward the dog mosaic, Fugo sees a mirror and a new enemy in the reflection. It is Illuso, one of the assassins from La Squadra Esecusioni. As Illuso approaches, Fugo warns his teammates who cannot see the enemy and Fugo is suddenly snatched into the mirror world, confronting Illuso and his Stand, Man in the Mirror. Fugo then tries to summon his Stand Purple Haze but the Stand is kept out of the mirror, interrupting Giorno and Abbacchio's search for Fugo. A flashback exposes Fugo's past. As a well-born child with high intellect, Fugo was so pressured into academic excellence that it took a toll on his sanity. Entering a university at age 13, he finally snapped and beat up a professor to defend himself but was expelled then disowned, eventually meeting Bruno and being swayed to his side. Fugo tries his best to fight Man in the Mirror indirectly but Illuso easily bests him while Purple Haze's actions cause one of the capsules on his fist to crack, revealing its ability to release a deadly flesh-eating virus. Abbacchio decides to prioritize the objective but Giorno insists on helping Fugo, and Abbacchio leaves Fugo to his fate. Meanwhile, Illuso approaches Fugo for a coup de grâce.
