[He doesn't actually know if that's an attempt at a joke or an attempt at weakly protesting the very good point that Kakyoin makes. The optics of it bother him — taking Adrian and running away with him while Kakyoin languishes back home in a hospital bed — but this may be one of those areas where Kakyoin's personal brand of ruthless clarity has the advantage on him. Kakyoin knows he'll run himself ragged trying to make things work out for everyone. Kakyoin is the one capable of making the harder call, when Jotaro's answer is always just to take all the burden onto his own shoulders.
They all deserve to have a chance. And he could wave his hands and make the problem just go away, just like that; he has the power to change everything if he wants, just because he wants to, and no one could stop him.
But he won't.
Kakyoin could ask him to fix it, but he doesn't. Kakyoin could speak one word and know he'd change the universe for him in an instant, without even thinking twice.
And he doesn't.
It's not supposed to be that easy. It's not supposed to be selfish. And that means that sometimes it's going to be hard, just like it is for everyone else who can't just swing a fist and make reality bend to their own will.]
What if we come visit. If I say that we'll go...then at least don't make me stay away until you're completely well again.
[He licks his lips, missing Kakyoin's kisses already, feeling as though they've gone dry and cracked.]
We'll bring stuff from America. Big stupid stuffed animals. Contraband. We'll sneak it in to you.
