[. . . My goodness. That actually gets him.]

Is that what you think? Then these are a very close second, at least.

You seemed to manage it admirably, even though you have so much less practice than he does.

You know me, I'm pretty good at making the best of an unexpected situation.

[She carefully refrains from saying "a bad situation", because it's not that kind of day, and subtle attention to word choice sometimes makes all the difference.]

You're not allergic to strawberries or nuts or anything, I hope.

I don't think I'm allergic to anything, actually. Not that I know of, anyway. And even if I was, I think I might be able to keep myself from going into anaphylactic shock.

. . . I think what I meant to say is thank you. So thank you. I like that you're doing things you want to do, it makes me really happy.

You could do something like that? Oh, with your Stand, right? Because it does stuff with life.

That seems kind of funny, doesn't it? Making someone else happy by doing something that makes yourself better off, too. Kind of a weird gift, because everybody gets something out of it and it doesn't cost anything.

Right. But I'd have to do more research into how anaphylactic shock actually works, I think.

That's why it's my favorite kind of gift, because it goes both ways. Secretly I'm actually incredibly selfish. Don't tell.

Tell what? I didn't hear anything. :)

Besides, if the whole point is that I could probably stand to be a little more selfish than I am, then really you're a role model.

That's true. Everyone should probably follow my example in all things.

Hey, can I ask you something dumb? Just for fun, I'm kind of curious.

Hm? Of course. You can ask me anything.

If I had a Stand, what do you think it would do?

That's not dumb. Something to do with connecting people, I think. How it would manifest, though, I'm not sure.

Ooooh. Because of my alley, right?

Maybe I could shoot webs like Spiderman and tie people together!

Not really. I was thinking more because of your you.

I bring people together?

I think so. You bring people together with each other, and you bring people closer to themselves.

I'm really sorry about bringing that whole mess to the cafe. I should have thought ahead or at least warned the rest of you first.

I'll replace the chair, too.
