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.
I know Jojo cares now. His grandmother kept things from him the way my father kept things from me. The way Jojo's mother kept things from both of us. But that doesn't make it right.
I trust Jojo with my life. I don't question that anymore. Maybe I think he's an exception — no, I know I do. But I know now that not everything I thought before was wrong.
I want to trust Jotaro, that he's an exception in the same way. I know you do. But wanting it and believing it just aren't the same.
I think I understand. I can kind of understand exceptions like that if nothing else. I want to say a hundred stupid things that would probably come off sounding insincere at best and starting a fight at worst, so I won't say any of it right now.
I do think he'd want you to trust him. But I'm not going to blame you just because it isn't always that easy to trust people in general. All I wanted for my part was to figure out what your perspective was on it.
Because understanding people is important to me, because I like you and want to know you a little better, because I'm probably too curious for my own good?
You already know I'll say he does. But I'm heavily biased, so take that as you will. But for what it's worth, I think he and I both know you're a good person.
...Let me try that again.
You're a good person in much the same way I think I am, which is to say we're somewhat awful people with decent morality.

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

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?

Pick one, they all apply fairly well.

I'm trying, you know. To trust him. I think he probably deserves it.

I didn't mean to make this so serious.

It doesn't bother me. Besides, I did the same thing so I should apologize too.
