Yeah. You know I will be.

[He pauses, giving Kakyoin's fingers a slight squeeze.]

Listen. I'm going to say this, too, because I think it's good for you to hear it. Because I'm speaking from experience when I say it.

You're going to mess up. I have. You're going to backslide; I did. Sometimes change is like...crawling up a steep gravel hill on your elbows. It'll hurt. You'll fuck up. You'll slide back down.

No one is going to stop caring about you if that happens. Understand?

It won't...get annoying?

[It sounded like asking that took actual effort, probably because it did. Kakyoin kept reminding himself that he had to be open and straightforward here, if absolutely nowhere else just yet.]

[...He really, really still wasn't great at the whole friendship thing.]

I don't want to end up looking like some kind of lost cause.

You can't worry about it like that.

[He pulls him a little closer, nuzzling down onto the top of his head.]

When something inside you says, "I'm afraid I look like a lost cause", tell it, "Jotaro would never give up on me." Until it shuts up.

... [Kakyoin laughed to himself, squeezing Jotaro's hand in response.]

I can do that. You're the only person I know that's more stubborn than I am, after all.
