It just feels like it'd be weird.

I don't know. I just don't want to screw up Valentine's Day. Especially not the first one.

[digiorno]

You both worry so much.

It won't be weird. It's a day to spend focusing on how important you are to each other. You do that every day anyway, so you have enough practice that I doubt you'll screw anything up.

[starmark]

I don't know why I do that. I think it's because I watched Columbo a lot as a kid.

...Do you want to learn how to make chocolates?

[digiorno]

Yes. What's Columbo?

[starmark]

It's an American detective show. Someone commits a crime, and the rest of the show is about Columbo investigating and tracking down the clues to let him trap the culprit.

He's really good at picking up on little details and putting them together, and a lot of times when he suspects a guy he catches him by tricking him into giving himself away by mistake. It's really cool.

[digiorno]

So you're like Columbo, except instead of worrying about criminals you worry about boys.

[starmark]

...Yeah. I'm Columbro.

[digiorno]

That is ridiculous. You are ridiculous.

[starmark]

You're allowed to laugh at that, by the way.

[digiorno]

Jotaro, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but it wasn't that funny.

[starmark]

What are you talking about? It was great.

[digiorno]

And yet here I am, not laughing.

[starmark]

That's not the joke's fault.

[digiorno]

Yes it is.

[starmark]

No, it's not.

[digiorno]

Yes it is.

[starmark]

No, it's not.

[digiorno]

Yes it is.

Also I have a question.

[starmark]

Sure, what is it?

(No, it's not.)

[digiorno]

YES IT IS

How does everyone in Japan know how to make chocolates for Valentine's Day? Do you have to take a class on it or something? That seems like a very specific present.

[starmark]

NOT

Okay, I'm not just saying this because of the boyfriend thing earlier but I actually don't know firsthand because I'm not a girl. I've never had to make chocolates or anything, guys do White Day and that's more focused on buying stuff than making stuff. I guess because girls are supposed to do homemaker wife stuff and make chocolate from the heart or something, and guys are supposed to spend a bunch of money on them in exchange.

But I think people get their moms to help them and it's just like...melting it and adding stuff to it, or something. You don't have to make it from scratch, I don't think.

[digiorno]

yes it is

You realize all of that's ridiculous, don't you? There's no currency here yet, and Mrs Erina Jonathan's your great-great-grandmother probably DOES know how to make chocolate from scratch, and anyway what's the point if it's not even making it from scratch. Besides, I know plenty of girls who would much rather buy things than make them. Trish would stab you in the eye if you tried to get her to do any kind of homemaking thing.

[starmark]

The more I hear about Trish the more I feel like she's my kind of person.

I think the point is just to be able to say "I worked really hard on this". Like that's a measure of their love or something.

[digiorno]

And then on the other side you just buy things? That's not fair either. Why not just give the other person what you think they want?

Also yes, Trish is perfect. She could destroy you. And everyone. Ever.

[starmark]

You buy things threefold. So if someone gave me 1000 yen chocolate, I'd be obligated to get them something worth 3000 yen a month later.

I mean I know there are no price tags on homemade chocolate but you approximate, I guess. I don't know because I've never returned anybody's choco wishes before. I usually give away the stuff I get.

What's her Stand?
