[Giorno is almost watching people as he talks to them. It's an occupational requirement, honestly; to be anything other than constantly vigilant is a good way to get yourself killed. Still, there's a difference between the way he watches most people and the way he's watching Jotaro now. Most people, he watches so he can identify their weak points and use those against them. He's watching Jotaro to see if he says something wrong, if he upsets him, the way he did so many times during their first meeting.]

[And it's clear that he has, although he can't really pinpoint what it was. Jotaro wouldn't be the first person he's met who didn't want to be perceived as a good person - but on this Giorno thinks that Bruno is very much correct. Jotaro is a good person. Sad, a little broken, but not irreparably, and absolutely not bad.]

[So he doesn't soften his words, and he doesn't take anything back. Just watches and waits for Jotaro to speak - and when he does, Giorno's perfectly content to let the subject shift, because this is important information, too.]

Sort of. The gang Bruno led within Passione was . . . effective, if not particularly strong, if that makes sense. The reason it was cohesive, the reason they were able to work together, is because Bruno had hand-picked all of them, pulled them out of unsafe or disadvantageous situations and given them something else to do with their lives.

[Admittedly, that something else was working for the mob. But Giorno knows for a fact none of them would go back.]

I think what he sees in you is potential to do whatever you want to do, honestly. [A short pause, and then he nods sharply.] I see that, too.
