I think I can understand what you mean. Star Platinum has been there for you through difficult times, right? It may not be exactly the same, but I think it's similar enough.

It's a little funny, actually. Danny and I were wary of each other at first, but it was only after he saved me that we began to value each other at our best.

[Hardship builds the greatest friendships. He thinks that Jotaro knows that just as well as he does, if not more.]

...Oh. You meant —

[JESUS, HE DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS LITERAL, HE THOUGHT IT WAS A FIGURE OF SPEECH

HOLY SHIT JONATHAN DON'T JUST CASUALLY SAY THIS ENTIRE BLOODLINE MIGHT NOT EXIST RIGHT NOW WERE IT NOT FOR THE INTERVENTION OF A DOG JESUS CHRIST]

...Well. Good. That's really good.

O-Oh! You thought I was using a metaphor?!

[Well, now he's thoroughly embarrassed. That is, uh. Yeah, now that he thinks about it, that's not a thing you tell to your kids.

Now that it's out of the bag.]

When I was five years old, I fell into a river without knowing how to swim. Danny leapt into action and pulled me out in the nick of time. Hence, er-- hence the "drowning before my time" bit of that speech.

[...welp.]

Sorry. That was an inappropriate thing to tell you without any preparation.

...It's fine. I've told you worse with no warning.

[Or with inadequate warning, at the very least. Still, this is...something. It's something he finds himself weirdly glad to know about? It's not exactly good, but at the same time, it's one of those boring normal things that helps to render Jonathan human and not simply a legend from the past.

That's important. Seeing people as they are and not the way it's easy to assume they are...that's important, and it's a skill he's having to cultivate a little bit at a time.]

He sounds like a really good dog. No wonder you were such good companions.

Even so...I suppose there is no harm in it.

[Jonathan's tried his hardest to see the good in everyone, even when it's caused him physical harm. He made one of his best friends with a bone-deep cut in his arm. His hands shook over the trigger when his brother's bloodlust finally rose to the surface. Even if others have seen him as a god among men, a person who has risen above tragedy with unnatural strength, a hero, Jonathan's never seen himself as anything but human. It's what kept him going when it was more than likely that he would die on his quest to save the world from evil itself. Humans evolve. Humans had their flaws, but Jonathan wanted to leave the world better than he found it.

He turns the page for Star Platinum.]

I have to cherish the time we had together.
