...Okay I admit that's not actually what I expected you to end up pissy about.

Calm down, it was just an excuse to call you a stupid diminutive.

[mylegacy]

Oh, that.

Whatever, Jojo calls me worse. You get used to it with siblings anyway.

[starmark]

fuck me you're right

[mylegacy]

About which part?

[starmark]

That you get used to it.

[mylegacy]

Oh. Well, of course you do. That's what siblings are for. Younger ones especially, they're designed to annoy you in increasingly ingenious ways.

[Has he mentioned that his siblings are the best people in the universe because consider: they are.]

[starmark]

What are yours like?

[mylegacy]

. . . You really want to know that?

[starmark]

That's why I asked.

[mylegacy]

Oh.

. . . I have four.

[starmark]

All younger?

[mylegacy]

That's right.

[. . .]

Jotaro. I can trust you, right?

[starmark]

I think that's your call to make, Caesar.

But I take people trusting me seriously, so you can decide based on that.

[mylegacy]

If I said I wanted something to stay between us

even if it seemed small and stupid and inconsequential

[starmark]

Then it would stay between us. Period.

[mylegacy]

Right.

My father left when I was young. They don't really remember him, mostly. And the rest of the family took everything - home and money. So I took care of them.

[starmark]

...So you never got to be a kid.

It's fucked up that they did that to you guys.

[mylegacy]

I don't need pity. It's just what happened.

They're good kids, though. All of them in different ways.

[starmark]

It's not pity. It's just the truth, that's fucked up.

What are they like?

[mylegacy]

Maybe.

Nicola's the oldest, she used to help me the most. She was good with the rest of them, the boys mostly. I don't think I would have been able to do all of it without her.

Marcello jokes a lot, he likes people to always be smiling if he can manage it. He used to get frustrated with me sometimes because he said I was too serious, but he tried to help in other ways, too - he always worked hard and brought in as much money as he could, but he made sure to go to school, too, and keep his grades up, because he knew that was important to me.

Benito skipped school and fought a lot because he thought - he was just angry, like me, or he wanted to be like me, or something. He likes animals. Snakes. I worried about him most, I still do, really.

And Maria's the baby. She used to help me cook when I was ten and she was four . . . that's when I taught her. I had to stand her on a chair so she could reach the stove, but she wanted so much to help. She always wants to help.

[starmark]

Did you like taking care of them?

I don't mean like, "as opposed to hating it". I mean...obviously it was hard, but were things about it happy, too? Do you have good memories of taking care of them?

[mylegacy]

They were the best part of my life. Without question. I loved them more than anything. They were the only people who made me happy.

[starmark]

I gave my word, and I'm not going to go back on it, period.

But can I ask why you want this to stay between us?
