[Izabel returns to them, eyebrow raised like she's unimpressed with his argument. Because she is.]
Dude, they're parts of you guys. Of course they're going to be different. Everyone's got their own strengths. [She reaches her arm out again towards Hierophant to invite him back over as her eyes soften again.] I think he's plenty special.
[Realizing that was a terrible explanation, Kakyoin continued.]
This city's a strange exception to the way my world works. Back where we're from, the only people that can see Stands are people who have one themselves. I was just wondering if you had any problem like that.
[The fact that he refers to it as a problem is a little telling, and she knows if it was like that for her, life would be way more lonely. She's...not sure which angle to tackle that from, though.]
Well, I'm definitely glad it isn't like that here. Kinda wonder if I'd be an exception, though. As a spirit.
I don't really know if our world has spirits quite like you, so I'm not sure.
[HAHAHAHA. HA. not like that's a later plot point or anything right]
But it's possible you'd be an exception, yeah--just because you're a little physically similar to a Stand obviously doesn't mean you're the same thing.
[...ohhh man well fuck you too jotaro she's keeping quiet for you.]
Yeah. I know. Like, sometimes I think about how...maybe one day me n' Hazel could be like the two of you? But even if I'm a spirit with her from birth, I'm still me. She and I won't be able to have what you guys have.
No, you're clearly your own individual completely different from us. [He gestured slightly to Hierophant, underlining that he was talking about the two of them rather than Stand users in general.] But that's hardly a bad thing, I think. There's a difference between having an innate understanding of something like a Stand and actually having someone that has its own will and holds a conversation. It's...talking to oneself versus having an actual friend.
When I was still a kid I used to wish Hierophant would actually speak, but I got used to interpreting him as part of myself. Honestly, I'm just a little bit jealous of Mista in that respect.
[. . .]
Don't tell him I said that, I'd never live it down.
[She laughs a little at that, shaking her head. Mista was definitely...something. She got the feeling that was a common sentiment in this group.]
...I guess no matter how good the thing you've got is, there'll always be something about everyone else that you'll miss out on. [Izabel tilts her head, smile curling.] But hey, you've got friends now. Good people. And I'm sure Giorno isn't the only one who thinks highly of you -- I know I do already.
I don't think it's just you that's fortunate. I mean, look at what you've already done just for me, some random ghost chick. To be honest, I'm not even really sure why. You're just...really great.
[LIKE REALLY she knew it was bad but how is it this bad. How is it even possible for anyone to be this bad.]
Okay, lemme just... Look. It means a lot to you that I like Hierophant, right? Even though you've already met people that like Hierophant. It's still a nice surprise and gives you that fuzzy feeling inside. But me? I can't help it. Liking Hierophant is just something that I do.
It's easy for you to change what you and him are doing so I can hold his hand or whatever, I get that. You're used to...being versatile! Because that's what you do. But it's not something I have any control over -- trust me, I tried with Sex Pistols since they're the ones that break the rules. [For a second, she loses that serious tone, chuckling a little. It's not something very funny, though.] So to me, to have you guys do this when I didn't even have to play the "Giorno's family" card...
You'd be surprised at just how fuckin' hard that is for some people.
[That isn't her point though.]
...Kakyoin. I'm serious. I don't care about your reason behind it, I just care that you're doing it. Helping me feel alive again for just a little bit.

We're just nothing too special next to the others. Even Mista's can at least talk, that's something I've never seen any other Stand do.
