NOW WHAT DID I DO

[kicksdogs]

Take me seriously!

[digiorno]

I AM!!

I WAS BEING SERIOUS!!!!!!!!

[kicksdogs]

I want a new name and you're over here telling me to call myself a dying star in Italian because it makes you feel warm inside. I don't think that's being very serious.

[digiorno]

You make me feel warm inside. You wanted me to pick a name that reminds me of you, and that one does! If you want a name that sounds cool, go to someone else, especially if you won't even tell me why you want a new name! But if it was me, I'd want a name that felt like love feels, and love feels warm to me.

[kicksdogs]

Your opinion is the one that matters to me. I don't care what others think.

[A moment between messages.]

I don't know why. Or maybe I do, but I'm not sure how to explain it.

[digiorno]

You don't have to explain it. I just don't know what kind of name you want.

[kicksdogs]

I want a name that isn't owned by some creature in the future. A way to separate myself.

[digiorno]

Oh. Yes, I see. I think I understand.

Then — don't you think it's most important to name yourself how you see yourself?

[kicksdogs]

If I did that I don't think I'd come up with anything particularly decent.

[digiorno]

We'll work on that later, then.

Tell me what you don't like about what I said, and I'll come up with something better.

[kicksdogs]

I don't want to hear that name and think of something as large and bright as the sun. I don't feel like it fits me.

[digiorno]

All right. So . . . you want something that isn't quite so much of a big deal, but also not something that is how you really think of yourself, because that wouldn't be positive. Is that right?

[kicksdogs]

Yes.

[digiorno]

. . . Inizio. It means "beginning". Or Esordio — that's "debut".

[kicksdogs]

[A few minutes pass.]

I like Inizio.

[digiorno]

I like it, too. I think it suits you.

[kicksdogs]

This is strange, isn't it?

[digiorno]

What do you mean?

[kicksdogs]

Pretending like this.

Like I can become someone else. It wouldn't even matter here.

[digiorno]

I don't think it's pretending.

Why wouldn't it matter?

[kicksdogs]

You know why.

Since my arrival almost everyone here seems to know everything about me. Trying to change my name and pretending I'm not

It's stupid. This was a stupid idea.

[digiorno]

Please don't give up.

[kicksdogs]

There's nothing to give up! I shouldn't have even said anything so just forget all of this, Giorno.

[digiorno]

I will if that's what you want. As long as you remember that I believe in you and I love you and I'll never give up on you or stop believing in you or loving you.
