[It is good. But it leaves him with the same problem, and one nobody knew how to solve. If there even was a solution. But there had to be, hadn't there? Kakyoin wasn't exactly the most happy-go-lucky guy, but if he could get to a point where he didn't carry equal amounts of guilt and grief about his death and his relationship with Jotaro, Bruno ought to be able to as well. Right?
Polnareff sighed, his eyes closing for a moment.]
I just . . . even if I do anything and everything to give him a bit of home, it's not what he wants. You know? He doesn't want a life here, he doesn't want a relationship that means something-- or he does, but not to build one here. And I don't know . . .
[He glanced over at Kakyoin.]
I mean, who the hell knows if any of us remember this at home? Who knows what's gonna happen? If we all go back safe and sound, if we find some way to keep you two alive-- then what? He'll go to 2001 and I'll go to 1988, and from my perspective he'll still be a kid. It's just--
[Christ. Now he was spiraling. Polnareff scowled and sucked harder on his cigarette.]
Forget it. I just want him to be happy, that's all.
