I'm willing to say that might just be often enough for me.

[mylegacy]

It better be. I don't trust many people.

[lapidarius]

Some people would call that cautious.

[mylegacy]

Who?

[lapidarius]

It was just a general statement. I didn't mean anyone in particular.

[mylegacy]

I think Jojo wants me to trust more people. And Jotaro wants me to trust him. He never said it but I think he does.

[lapidarius]

That does certainly sound like them, on both counts.

[mylegacy]

They're still too nice.

[lapidarius]

I never said they weren't.

[mylegacy]

I know.

I like trusting just one or two people better anyway.

[lapidarius]

Better that than none at all.

[mylegacy]

You're probably worth a few people just by yourself really.

[lapidarius]

Now you're just trying to flatter me to death.

[mylegacy]

You know I don't flatter people.

[lapidarius]

I'm just joking.

Could I ask you something? You don't have to answer if you'd rather not, but I think you know by now anything between us isn't going to be told to anyone else.

[mylegacy]

Whatever you want.

[lapidarius]

Is it difficult to trust Jotaro for some reason?

I'm not demanding you should or trying to talk you into anything. It's just a question, that's all.

[mylegacy]

Oh. Yes, but no. It's not Jotaro, it's Joestars.

[lapidarius]

Can I ask why specifically?

I'm just...trying to understand, that's all.

[mylegacy]

I don't think you'd think it made sense.

[lapidarius]

I don't think much of anything makes sense anymore, honestly.

It's okay. You don't have to tell me if you'd rather not.

[mylegacy]

I don't mind telling you. Just.

Could you not argue with me about it? At least not right now.

[lapidarius]

I wasn't planning on it. Like I said, it was only a question--I won't argue, I'll just listen.

[mylegacy]

All right.

My grandfather died for Jojo's grandfather. When I mean Jojo, he didn't know anything about his family. So I thought he didn't care, just like I'd thought his grandfather didn't care. It didn't matter who died for them as long as they lived long enough to forget those sacrifices.

[lapidarius]

That can't be ri

[Back up, delete that. It was a statement of confusion more than anything argumentative, but Kakyoin erased it and started over from another angle.]

You said that's what you thought. What do you think about it now?
