[starmark]

Yeah. That's the kind of person she is.

I don't really understand how she can just do stuff like that.

[mylegacy]

I don't either. I've never been very nice.

[starmark]

I'm not offering suggestions or anything.

But I wouldn't punch you if I found out you'd brought her flowers, or something.

[mylegacy]

I don't know if it's a very good idea to encourage your mother to be friends with a dead person.

[starmark]

You wouldn't be the first.

[mylegacy]

Probably not.

I don't know. I don't really understand you but I don't hate you and I like her and I want to know things. So.

[starmark]

So. That's somewhere to start, at least.

If you think of things you want to know, call. Or text, whatever. It doesn't matter when, what time or anything like that. Just call.

[mylegacy]

Kakyoin said he's happy. Is he?

[starmark]

I think he is. I try to make him as happy as he makes me. I think it's hard for him sometimes but he's




Yes. The answer is yes.

[mylegacy]

. . . Why is it hard?

[starmark]

...He feels left out sometimes. With all the Joestars around.

Fitting in is important to him.

[mylegacy]

[He's starting to see the problem. Both of them have a default he; it's just that they're not the same person. This isn't the answer to the question he was asking, but it's something he thinks he needs to know anyway.]

I used to hate your family, you know. Sometimes I still do. So I might not understand all the way, but a little bit.

He tried to help me, too.

[starmark]

Can I ask why? You don't have to tell me. I'm pretty resilient to the idea of being hated because of something like that by now, though.

[mylegacy]

Because it's Jonathan Joestar's fault my grandfather is dead.

[starmark]

He what.

What did Jonathan do?

[mylegacy]

He didn't

[Try hard enough. But no.]

My grandfather left us, to fight the masks. He went to help Jonathan, to teach him. But he had to defend him, in the end, and he died as a result. That's what happened.

[starmark]

shit

[And then, after a good-sized pause.]

he went to fight dio brando with jonathan

[mylegacy]

Yes.

[starmark]

what the fuck is this fucking

i'm sorry

i don't know why so many people have had to die for us

[mylegacy]

I didn't have to.

[starmark]

You don't have to tell me how you died. Or why.

[mylegacy]

I don't have to do anything, I'm noticing. Except be here.

[starmark]

Do you know what happened to Jonathan?

[mylegacy]

Yes. But you probably know more details.

[starmark]

Sort of. Some of them I can't go into.

But the guy who was killing my mom, and who hurt my grandpa, who I had to kill. That was Dio Brando.
