[The obscenity slips out on its own, but if there's an edge to it, it's clearly not directed at Kakyoin; the irritability is too vague, too nebulous to belong to anything but the situation in general.]
Maybe that's how it looks from a different viewpoint, I don't know. All I have is mine. I didn't end up in this by design any more than you did. I just got handed all this shit and told to deal with it.
[The truest definition of the Joestar Legacy. Here's a bunch of shit you never asked for; it's yours to deal with now.]
You make yourself different because that's what you've been telling yourself your whole life. Maybe you just don't know how to be anything else, because of that. You're different because you look for ways to make yourself different. That's why you were one of us the whole way to Egypt and still telling yourself that you had to earn your place to be there.

I can't stop you from thinking that way. That's what I meant — nothing I say is going to drown out the things you tell yourself in your head. It just bothers me when you use the me in your head to do it. When you use some idea of me like an excuse to keep yourself out.
