Ah. That makes sense.

What if . . . would it be something you could do, to say - I'll stay here for a day, or two days. Make a time limit. Stay with her, be here for her. And then go with Kakyoin. So you're not abandoning her, but you're not abandoning yourself, either.

[starmark]

I could do that.

I'll tell Kakyoin to give it a couple of days. And to make me stick to it if I try to get around it.

[digiorno]

Between all of us, we'll make sure you get what you need.

[starmark]

thank you for knowing to go get to my mom

[digiorno]

You're welcome, Jotaro. I know hiding pain runs in the family.

[starmark]

Did you know that a mantis shrimp can see colors human beings can't even imagine? Every color we can see derives from the same three colors, red, blue, and green.

Mantis shrimp can derive color from red, blue, green, and thirteen others that humans don't even have a name for. Or conception of.

[digiorno]

Those are the pretty, strong ones with all the colors? I remember seeing pictures.

How do we know that they can see in those colors if we don't know what the colors are?

[starmark]

Strong is an understatement. They don't put them in aquariums because they can break the aquarium glass. And attack.

It's because we know how eyes see color. I think it's called cones? We can't see the colors but we can count the cones, and they have more than we do.

[digiorno]

What is it that they're looking at, do you think? Other than each other?

[starmark]

Why they need an adaptation like that, you mean?

I don't know. But I bet it's like looking at rainbows made of rainbows.

[digiorno]

Rainbows made of rainbows. I like that.

Maybe it's how they talk to each other. They use colors, like showing each other the most technicolor movies.

[starmark]

...could you use gold experience to give me mantis eyes

[digiorno]

You're very silly.

If you wanted me to, I think I could do that.

[starmark]

I think it would probably make my brain shut down and collapse in on itself. No way to process the information it was taking in.

...So I guess if you ever want to fuck somebody up really badly just give them mantis eyes.

[digiorno]

Oooooh ◟(◔ั₀◔ั )◞ ༘♡

That's such a good idea! And it really hurts to do that anyway so that's a bonus!

[starmark]

...It hurts being healed by Gold Experience?

I remember it hurt when you did it for me but I figured that was just, you know. Everything hurting in general.

[digiorno]

It does. Because it's really just growing cells. So it hurts a lot.

[starmark]

...

that's so cool

[digiorno]

It's cool that it hurts?

[starmark]

that you fix people by growing new cells.

[digiorno]

oh

that's

That's what the body does. That's how people heal. So it always just made sense to me. Is it strange?

[starmark]

It's amazing. You can control something that's otherwise just automatic in everything else.

People don't look at their injuries and have to tell their body, go fix that. But you can look at someone else's body and tell their cells, go fix that on my schedule.

Isn't that amazing?

[digiorno]

. . . Is that what it you think it is?

I mean. If that's what you think, then that's what it is. If you want to call me amazing I'm not going to stop you.

[starmark]

I think you are.

It's kind of the same reason that I like the ocean. It's so...vast. There's so much in it, the life adapts in so many different ways.

They do amazing things too, and it's just...what they do. They do it like it's nothing, except that it's not nothing.

[digiorno]

Did you just compare me to the ocean
