[Part of what makes Jotaro an appealing person to talk to, as Giorno's already discovered in the very small space of time they've known each other, is that he pushes back. Giorno has, at least in the last few years, known himself to thrive best under pressure, with some resistance, not necessarily negative, but not universally positive, either. Yes-men have limited use, certainly, but they're not creative and they're certainly not interesting.]
[Jotaro is interesting. He's also creative, in an oblique way that Giorno is still investigating. And if he is family in one way or another - well, Giorno left his mother behind for a reason, but it wasn't because he thought the ties of blood meant nothing. Far from it. He felt a need to distance himself in order to make decisions on his own, to escape the cycling of his birth family.]
[He doesn't anticipate a need to escape Jotaro.]
I'm usually right, [he says quietly, with a small smile, and thinks about how important it is to be aware that when you watch people, they are very often watching you back.]
Yes. I wanted to let you know that he likes you.
[Which Bruno never actually said; but Giorno's an expert at reading between his particular lines.]
