Of course. He won't.
[Giorno can promise this, not only because Mista will do as he says - not only because Kakyoin is a very different sort of person than Jotaro - but because Kakyoin and Bruno aren't so different, and Bruno will always be important, even if he isn't the boss anymore.]
I want him safe, too, you know. Not the way you do, but still.

[Giorno, like an idiot, assumes that if Jotaro doesn't understand something he says, he'll ask about it. As it is, he accepts this confirmation at face value. Everything's okay and fine.]
It usually is.
Still, we all have to have each other's backs, especially if we're going to be living together.

There's a big abandoned place up near the edge of the park, in the northeast part of the city. It's kind of a wreck right now, but there's enough still standing that it might be worth remaking into something worthwhile.
That kind of project is right up your alley, isn't it?

. . . I think that's true. I hope that's true.
[He looks at Jotaro for a long moment, as if trying to ascertain if he's telling the truth; but there's nothing but honesty in him, and it occurs to Giorno in that moment that he doesn't think Jotaro's ever lied to him.]
I want to be an admirable person. Not for the sake of being admired, but . . . [So I can look myself in the mirror at the end of the day.] Because I want people to reach their dreams, like I did.

...You are. Admirable.
[And when he hesitates, it's not because of what he's just said, but because of what he's tempted to follow it with, the thing he knows that Giorno doesn't that makes him the most qualified person in the world to say that someone with every inherent bias toward turning out like Dio who still fights to rise above it and push back against it is admirable —
Yes. He has every reason to find that admirable. It's inspiration, if not to achieve his dreams, then at least to prevent his nightmares.]
I'll tell you why someday. But just trust me on it for now.

Giorno Giovanna?
It's Mr. Joestar.
[Something is wrong.
Something is keeping Jonathan up far too late at night.]
I know it's an unreasonable hour, and I apologize, but this is...well, it's important. If you're awake, could I talk to you about something?

[He actually was asleep, and considers not answering the text until morning - but once he sees that it's from Jonathan, he answers immediately. He could probably pinpoint the reason for this, but he doesn't really want to.]
Of course. How can I help?

A man came in on a horse today. Have you met him?
When he introduced himself, he said his name was
[If the tension in his written words isn't enough, he isn't even finishing some of his messages before he sends them.]
He said his name was "Johnny Joestar."

[He doesn't say that's your name, or another one?, or any of the other thoughts running through his head right now. Instead, he takes a few moments to think and decides he doesn't have enough information here.]
Did he offer any explanation as to why he might have your name?
