[Harp seal. She has to bite her lip to keep herself from chuckling a little at his reaction before lifting her illusion. Although the change is a morph rather than instant, it doesn't look wrong. It's smooth, like smoke.]

It's just something I can do. Ghost bonus.

Wouldn't be the first Stand I'd seen with that kind of ability.

[...]

You know what I mean. Ghost power. Whatever.

Spirit stuff.

[Izabel nods. Terminology didn't really matter too much.]

I'm... [not a Stand though, she starts, but her lips flatten into a thoughtful line. How to explain the major difference... Iffy subject, now.] I can't touch Stands. They can touch me. Just...so you know. All you guys.

[...]

I'm also not anything special, as far as mirages go. All ghosts get to do that where I'm from.

...So you're on a wavelength that a Stand can reach, but it's only in one direction? You can't touch them, even when they're touching you?

Oh, well -- no. I meant it's not something I can do anything about to...fix? Once it's set, it's set until you guys want to, like, change the channel. That would've been super sucky.

...Ah. I get it.

So we have to tune in to your frequency, but once we're on it, it's the same as if you both were solid, like normal people are.

[She nods because there wasn't really much else to say about that, was there? Well, except maybe...]

...Kakyoin's really good at it. I didn't think someone would do it faster than Giorno.

[Sex Pistols had been quick about it too, but they almost seemed like cheaters, being more independent from their user.]

...How fast did he do it?

[Not that he's secretly competitive.]

He did a test to see how incorporeal I was first -- which was pretty damn incorporeal because of course -- but then? First try. Whole thing couldn't have been more than a minute.

Huh.

[MAKING A MENTAL NOTE OF THAT...]

And Giorno took a little longer than that?

He took two tries -- but to be fair, I didn't tell him I was a ghost beforehand.

[Which was probably a little rude but oh well.]

Not like I knew he'd be able to actually do it though.

I'm guessing it doesn't bother him too much, either. That you're a ghost?

Nah.

[Catching all that genuine affection isn't hard.]

He just treats me like -- like family. He's pretty great. [An understatement.] I think Kakyoin's the one who's asked the most ghost-related questions.

That's just how Kakyoin is. And I guess how Giorno is, as far as the other thing goes.

[...]

Listen. There's something you should do, okay?

[She doesn't speak this time, just tilting her head a bit to indicate that she's listening.]

...When I get this shit figured out, make me tell you who the ghost was.

I don't know if fixing it will mean I'll forget this conversation or...whatever. There's no way to know.

So I'm saying right now, even if I try to get you to leave me alone, don't stop until I tell you. If I won't do it, find a way to threaten me. That's what I'm telling you to do.

[...]

Whoever it was...I feel like it's wrong, that I can't remember. Not just because there's a hole in my memory, but because it means I forgot them.

[Ah.

...Huh.]

I can be pretty good at that not leaving people alone thing. Don't worry.

[No, that wasn't quite... Even quieter, she continues:]

It's not like it's your fault, you know.

Neither of us knows that for sure right now, do we?

...Well I don't think it's your fault.

If it was, I don't think you'd worry about who this person was. It's important to you.

...Don't you think I'm worried because it might be my fault?

I think you're worried because it's killing you inside to think you could throw something precious like that away, not because you actually did something to make yourself forget. I mean, if it feels wrong to forget them or whatever now, why wouldn't you have felt the same way before?

...

I'd be willing to bet it's nothing like that.

But there's no way to know until I fix this, so it doesn't really matter either way.

[She thinks it matters, but she drops the subject anyway. Gotta conserve that hounding for when he got the memory back.]

...We should probably stop using video if we don't want to wake anyone else up. Unless you have any requests for illusions before bed?

I'll pass. Maybe some other time.

Yeah. I figured.

[A little disappointing, but altogether not surprising. Actually getting a request would have thrown her off.]

Get some sleep, okay? Sorry for waking you up.
