[Sandwiched between Star and Jotaro, and what a weird position this is. Chariot fades back into Polnareff; he'll experiment with Stand interaction later. For now he wants to learn more about this-- this sentience, and yet not.]
But does he argue? Is there every any pushback, or-- is it just you slowly teaching him?
[He lifts his head, trying to get to see Star's expression.]
I just-- I guess I'm trying to understand if he's his own person or not. The way Giorno talked to Chariot-- it was as if he expected Chariot to sit up and start talking back. Like how kids talk to puppets, you know? It's me controlling Chariot, but he spoke like he expected something independent.
[That isn't a slur on Giorno; far from it. Giorno is far too intelligent to be playing pretend like that, so clearly there is a measure of independence here-- one that Star has that Chariot does not.]
