yeah it's definitely not because i don't know how

that damn song is only like four chords over and over again

and if it gets stuck in your head then tell me and i'll get my guitar out and play something else to get it out again

[manuscripture]

It's stuck in my head.

[starmark]

that quickly?

[manuscripture]

Should I sing it to prove it?

[starmark]

no

all right hang on i'll play this other one i know

maybe you'll even recognize it

but it's good for the acoustic, where for a lot of them i really need an electric guitar and a real amp

[And shortly thereafter, musical stylings can be heard from the next room over.]

[ Give it about two or so minutes. ]

Play through it twice more.

I'm going back to sleep.

Goodnight, Jotaro.

[starmark]

[manuscripture]

[starmark]

sweet dreams, i guess

[And eventually he will in fact resume the Lupin III concert, but when the guitar music starts up again, it ends up being something else first, the middle of a verse and a chorus that rather ends up being And Now For Something Completely Unexpected.

It relies on Rohan being familiar with the lyrics, of course, but it's also Elton John, so probably Jotaro assumes there's a good chance of that. Or maybe he doesn't have that much of a plan to begin with, but regardless, the intermission in the Lupin III concert ends up being a total of six lines, all told:

I know it's not much but it's the best I can do,
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done,
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

How about that.]

[ After 'sweet dreams, i guess' he is ready to put his computer away and call it a night to fall asleep to the Lupin III on repeat concert. The chords change up, Rohan opens his eyes again due to the very different swap in tempo and melody.

He doesn't need the lyrics in front of him to know. He hums the last two lines to himself as he lazily drags the tips of his claws across the keyboard one more time. ]

Likewise.

[ If he gets another reply after the next set is over, Rohan will already be asleep. Asleep, but relaxed. For once. Ever. Whoa. ]
