[ They don't talk about the future. Never. He knows, vaguely, that Adrian talks about it. About finding Jotaro in the future. Staying with him ever when they leave this place. He knows there's a woman in Jotaro's future, one who cares about deeply enough to bring Jolyne into the world.
For some reason, he never saw himself as being part of that. It always felt like he was only ever meant to be a transient part of Jotaro's life. Like this was impermanent. Like they were going to go home and- he doesn't know how to finish that sentence. Pretend like nothing happened, maybe. Jotaro's future was always a thing that wasn't for him. He's never pictured himself in it.
(That sound again. Glass breaking, muffled by layers of clothing. It feels like being punched in the stomach.)
His eyes are still wet. Water trickles down the side of Jotaro's neck. His voice is warm, soft, only slightly strained. ]
-it's going to be annoying, you know. All the hospital nonsense.
