[ He won't lie: if he had to pick someone specific to get him out of this situation, Abbacchio would have been his top choice. His Stand might not have the fiercest physique, but its master could beat out any of the boys in a contest of pure strength, Bucciarati very much included. It feels almost too convenient; he's never been lucky a day in his life. But he's not about to look a gift horse in the mouth.
If anything, his faith that Abbacchio will be able to fix this is what lets him tap into whatever strength he has remaining for a final push - or pull, as it may be. After a few moments of straining, Bucciarati finally comes free from his shadow all at once, and with a fairly heinous underwater blorp noise, too. Apparently, the conception of the situation as something like a drain was accurate. Unfortunately, so was Abbacchio's concern about the remaining momentum toppling them both over.
Shit.
He doesn't have the strength left to block their fall, but Sticky Fingers, in tune with his thoughts as always, understands without him saying a word, doing its best to hurry over and catch Abbacchio before he cracks his head open on the tile. Half-corporeal as it is in Bucciarati's current state, it doesn't quite succeed in stopping their fall - but it does succeed in slowing them down just enough to avoid fatal injury when they pass through its arms. Probably. ]
