...We're a good team, what can I say? [Shrugging, Kakyoin answered with a hesitant laugh of his own.]
Some situations call for 'Giovanna', and ones like these are where 'Giorno' is simply more appropriate. I understand the significance a given name can have, beyond just a simple cultural difference. It's something that's uniquely one's own, no matter what they decide to make it.
[Kakyoin didn't know anything about 'Haruno Shiobana'--it was impossible for him to have any idea that he was talking about anyone but himself. Restless hands getting the better of him despite being the picture of calm, Kakyoin Tenmei reached out and took a drink of the coffee in front of him.]
No--I won't argue, but I also won't say that you've struck me as truly similar to him since that first night. But I... [He trailed off, glancing down to the table before finding the confidence to look back up.]
Maybe I don't have a place to say this, where my connection isn't quite as personal as yours or Jotaro's. But there's something I've been carrying, too--something that reminds me too much of him.
[Another pause.]
I don't want to make this all about myself, just...I wanted to make that clear. That you and Jojo aren't the only ones with that kind of reminder.
