[I am, he nearly says, but the one benefit about typing one-handed is that he has to think a lot more before he writes anything. And so he thinks, and-- well. What are Dio's choices, exactly? Jotaro? No. Polnareff loves Jotaro more than anything, trusts him with his life-- but Jotaro murdered Dio once, and Polnareff had no doubt his friend would do it again if it didn't mean alienating Giorno.
Kakyoin? More likely than Jotaro. Hadn't Kakyoin said that he and Dio were even semi-friendly? But perhaps Dio knew what he did to Kakyoin in the future, perhaps he had some awful guilt. I hate myself and everything I become, Dio had once told him, and it wouldn't be such a stretch for Kakyoin's death to be included in that hatred and guilt.
Which left him. The man who had declared himself proudly to be one of Dio's murderers his first day; who had confessed to him two months later that he was just as terrified of the kid as the kid was of him. Who offered him knowledge, complete with all the boundaries he wanted to set in place. Who'd just cooked him supper, who had asked him about what he was learning and how it was going and all sorts of stupid, inane shit.
Another long pause. This conversation might be full of them.]
