There really is a first time for everything.
Oh, are you offering to test the results of my training? I think that sounds like a question I would be interested in answering.

And what happens if you run out before I do? Are we going to have to renegotiate or just try again?
Hi, Carlos.
What are you talking about? Did something happen?

i was like "can i look at purple haze" and he was like "who told you this thing" and i was like "kakyoin" and he was like "UGH" anyways he won't let me examine purple haze for scientific purposes so please tell him that i am a professional scientist
also i was right
giorno named his stand after a gosh darn prince album

Knowing Giorno, that really doesn't surprise me much.
But regarding Fugo, I really can't do that.

Because it's not my place. If Fugo doesn't want to show you Purple Haze, that's his decision to make.
okay but can you put in a good word
like
gee, that carlos, what a respectable and trustworthy scientist
have you talked to carlos lately? isn't he handsome and very devoted to his work?
if you need help for anything, go to carlos. he can handle any situation, even murder stands.

I'm not going to do that. If he asks, I'll tell him that you're invested in the subject and a hard worker--but only if he asks.
Don't take this so lightly, please. It's not a matter you can just write off as being out of a desire for information and nothing more.

That's exactly what I mean.
If Fugo decides 'because I want information' isn't enough of a reason to show you Purple Haze, that's his right. We're not subjects to be studied because of our abilities, and you should respect that.

i AM respecting that. logically, though, he should have very little reason to refuse
but i guess logic doesn't apply to things like this or people like him, and i respect that too. if he doesn't want to talk i won't push him to talk
that being said
i am right.

You're not. You're being stubborn and insisting you're correct when both of you have reasonably valid points.

'people like him'
what's that supposed to mean exactly
what's that supposed to mean exactly
me being right doesn't mean he's not right, it just means that we're both on different tracks. my goal is to get us on the same track and therefore to the same (correct!) conclusion
people like him think with their emotions, which is good and fine, but they usually don't think the way i think, which makes things like this harder

see, you just did it again
you're assuming your conclusion is the correct one
it's not

scientific advancement shouldn't come at a cost of the sources of your information.
the fact that you want information does not invalidate fugo's comfort level regarding purple haze. you're not dealing with just some basic supernatural ability, stands are a reflection of our selves and part of our souls. no one has any right to trivialize that or the way an individual stand user regards their own.

i'm not trivializing anything. there's zero risk posed to him or me or ANYONE else during this study, and so it makes the most rational sense for him to agree, right? i understand why he might be reluctant, but the information is confidential, and, like i said, there's no threat to anyone's safety in any way. it just seems kind of silly to prolong things like this when we could be getting so much more work done
[No threat to anyone's safety?]
[...Did he even know what Purple Haze did?]
stop.
you're doing it again. making us sound like we're just here for you to study and analyze. just because i agreed to it doesn't mean all of us are comfortable with that.
some stands are dangerous. and some stand users don't want to be scrutinized and pushed like this.

i am not pushing anyone.
[There is absolutely nothing from his end for a couple of minutes, then:]
i understand that you all have your own lives, and i have never once wavered on that fact. i respect boundaries to the best of my ability, and i do not consider it "pushing" if i simply acknowledge the fact that i'm right. he still has the right to his own decision, just like you did, but i am allowed to express my opinions on any hypothetical decision he has. it's not pushing if it doesn't affect him.
