[He didn't want to do this. Let it stay a secret between himself, Jotaro, Giorno, and Diarmuid--Polnareff of all people would have every right to be revolted once this came out. Like Kakyoin he knew how horrible this kind of thing was, what an invasion on every possible level it functioned as.]
For as much as I don't remember about the months between August and November, I have fairly clear memories of most of that day. I even remember I had a marionette I'd gotten from...somewhere, I don't know--I think it was for dramatic effect.
I pushed him down a flight of stairs with Hierophant, passed him a written death threat he almost didn't even bother reading, and waited.
[Was this...the first he'd talked about in in real detail? Kakyoin was sure he'd glossed over it briefly with Giorno and possibly Diarmuid, but the only other person that knew the events of that day was Jotaro himself.]
He ended up in the nurse's office because Hierophant had cut his leg to throw him off balance. So I- [It caught in his throat again, Kakyoin gradually turning pale at the recollection. He couldn't force the rest of the sentence out, not from left field like that.]
Hierophant's most powerful ability...isn't Emerald Splash. [His hands had gone rigid, but his expression was a perfect poker face and his voice was calm no matter how much it halted and hesitated.] Our power is...to get under someone's skin and control their movements, even their mind to a limited extent. I remember thinking...he wouldn't attack an innocent woman. So I would be able to kill him by taking control of the school nurse and making her go after him with a pen. I even took out another student's eye in the process, because they were there and in the way. I didn't even know I could do that, but it must have been something I figured out between Cairo and then. No one back home ever knew about it except Jotaro and probably Dio himself; the only other time I used it was the fight none of you remember. I knew if the rest of you found out, you'd--
[He took a slow and measured breath; Hamon training was something he could fall back on as a sense of security, something that let him belong somewhere and reminded him that he could maintain his composure and strength if he could just breathe.]
For all I talk about Stands as being an important reflection of their users--about how Hierophant is my reflection--knowing that's my real power is probably horrifying, right? So it's okay if you...whatever you're thinking about me, I won't hold it against you.
