[digiorno]

Whaaaaaat?

[starmark]

That was my other news.

He was willing to try finally, and I figured out how to do it to help him feel safe.

[digiorno]

[There is a slight pause here. Next time Jotaro opens his door, he will find a pudding cup on the floor outside. Anyway:]

I'm really glad. It went all right?

[starmark]

Yeah. I just took him from the library to the roof.

I had him count backwards and close his eyes, so for him it was more like moving in the blink of an eye, and not just having the world change around him with no warning.

[digiorno]

That's really smart, Jotaro. I don't think I would have thought of that.

[starmark]

He's going to be even scarier than he already is once he starts thinking about how to base battle strategies off of it in a tag team.

You know he will, sooner or later.

[digiorno]

Of course he will. I'm looking forward to it. He's going to be magnificent.

[starmark]

How'd it go the other day after the mistletoe thing?

[digiorno]

He forgot how to use words.

[starmark]

GOOD.

[digiorno]

He's also planning elaborate revenge, I think.

[starmark]

Not surprising. I'll have to start watching my ankles.

[digiorno]

I have to inform you that I have no horse in this race and thus must remain impartial.

But it's really funny when he forgets how to use words, so I hope you win.

[starmark]

Impartiality noted.

How are things on your end? Anything new I should be aware of?

[digiorno]

[ummmmmMMMM]

I'm not sure what's going to happen with Fugo. He's from ahead of me, and I'm sure he's telling the truth, but it's strange and awkward anyway.

[starmark]

Fugo is the one who went on the network right out of the gate and started asking about Passione and Stands, right?

[digiorno]

That's him. He left, when Bruno gave everyone the chance to. Everyone else stayed, and he left.

[starmark]

Not something the ones who stayed can take lightly.

[digiorno]

Exactly. He's not popular. And to his mind he's already paid his debt to me, but I haven't seen it. I don't know exactly how it happened down to the last detail, and every detail is important and telling. So I'm still deciding how to proceed.

[starmark]

Do you think he'd lie to you? Honest question.

[digiorno]

No. I think whatever happened made him accept me as an ultimate authority. I think he might hate telling me the truth, but I think the truth is what he'd tell me. Or else he got a thousand times cleverer and more controlled in the few months since I've seen him.

[starmark]

...Ah. But without knowing what circumstances brought him around, you can't know the nuances of the relationship he has with the future you. And you can't ask him that because hearing it from him would bias it, so.

...You're repeating a game of chess you already once played against Fugo, that Fugo remembers, except that you right now only have the benefit of seeing half the pieces and a third of the board.

[digiorno]

That's exactly right. I will ask him, when - no. I will get that information from him when things have settled down more. But your assessment is accurate.

Beyond that, it's also, honestly, not fair to Fugo. This is a sacrifice that he is going to have to live with, that by coming here he will have to make second amends. But that doesn't make it any more fair. You see?

[starmark]

He's already done his penance, but you don't remember it so he's stuck doing it again just to get things back to the way he already remembers them being.

...Yeah. That's something, all right.

[digiorno]

Yes. So I have to figure out some creative way to do this so that it evens out, in the event that he proves himself. The most dangerous thing I can do is treat my people unfairly.

I can do this. I'm not really worried. It's just something I have to think about.
