...I know. We're not--alone with it, is probably the phrasing I want.
[The words took a minute to pry loose from where they were stuck in his throat; he trusted Polnareff without question despite the good-natured mockery and teasing, but talking about this specific subject was difficult. No one else understood certain aspects of it like the two of them, and no one ever would.]
It's always stupid, minor things for me. The first night we met Giorno, it...I was the first one to figure out his connection to Dio. It wasn't because of anything he said that made me suspicious, or any kind of threat he presented, it...was his smile. You've probably seen it too; that pleasant look he puts on when he's being diplomatic or talking about business rather than anything casual.
That same smile was what I saw in Cairo months before I met any of you. And that's not to say I don't love Giorno dearly or think less of him for it, but once in a while if I see that look on his face part of me just hears 'let's be friends, Kakyoin' and it makes my skin crawl the same way it does when I hear the clock tower chiming.
[He paused, hands fidgeting for a moment before he unfolded his arms and laced his hands together restlessly.]
Jean, I-...I'm not sure if I've told you already or not. I can't keep who knows what straight around here half the time. But if you don't already know, there's...something I need to tell you. About what happened when I fought Jotaro, and about Hierophant.
