[He gets up and makes his way over to the desk, seeming immediately more at ease doing something he knows how to do well. This is what he came here for in the first place, after all. This is easy.]
[Following Hawkeye's instructions, he holds the bandage still, careful not to move when he sighs.]
It would have been impossible not to. He's the only other one who knows. [Except the man in question, and now Dr. Pierce . . . which is the other thing that's rubbing him the wrong way. It feels dangerous, somehow, that someone else has become involved — not to him but to the doctor. If Diavolo is still here, and he has reason to believe he is, then . . .]
[He hesitates. He could try to apply logic to this, but it seems futile. The man was insane before what Giorno did to him. Predicting what he'd do if he found out Doppio shared such a personal weakness feels like trying to hold back the ocean. It feels . . . inevitable, in a way, that he won't be here much longer himself, but does that mean he should say more?]
I'm not . . . going to confront him. Regardless of what happens. If you were worried about that. He's good at his job. I don't mind working with him. And I don't think he would wish to cause you harm himself. But — there's only one person he's loyal to.
[If Diavolo hadn't been here, would Doppio have gone after Trish? No. He really doesn't think so. That's what makes all of this so sickening.]
He's not his own person . . . in a way. When he's got his orders. It's more than a job. . . . Please be careful.
