[That's really pretty sweet of him, actually. It would've been perfect, except for how he threw in that last bit, "again".]
That's exactly why I'm telling you! I don't want anything bad to happen to you, either.
There are other people like me here, you know. Who've...died. So if Stand users can come here, and people who've died can come here, then that means...
[Guess who's perfectly capable of coming here, and enjoying a fresh chance at a quiet peaceful life.]
[ Rohan accepts the arm link. It's a good way to earn Chroma without too much effort, and it's just Hisoka, after all. He's not the easiest person to get along with, personally, but Hisoka doesn't seem bothered by his attitude. Probably why he keeps pestering him. ]
A coat? Alright. A coat, too. I wonder if we'll get different weather. It never occurred to me that we wouldn't.
[ Though he didn't mind the idea of staying this season for ever. He starts to lead towards shopping. ]
Though this wouldn't be so bad to be like this all year. It's pleasant.
Do you think the other people here would believe us? Since he puts on such a good act, and makes sure not to leave any traces that could lead back to him...
I'm not sure what they think we'd gain from lying about someone being a serial killer. But yeah, until he does something it's our word against his. Let's just hope they trust us.
Mm. I guess you're right, people probably would believe us. Maybe I'm just used to not being heard when I try to warn people. Just because it was like that back home, that doesn't mean it'll be like that here too.
We listened, and they'll listen. Regardless, I won't let him hurt anyone again. Besides, it uses Chroma to use Stands. He'll drain himself if he tries anything.
Huh. Maybe that's why sometimes I can act like a ghost and sometimes I can't. A friend of mine said he saw me turning see-through once, but it hasn't happened since. I wonder if it's because it takes Chroma to do it?
I AM worried about it. It's hard enough as it is to keep a supply around WITHOUT having a Stand, and you being able to use Heaven's Door is really important!
[It takes a while, before this response comes. Like she's written it and deleted it again a few times over, on the fence about whether or not to actually let it follow through.
But in the end, her concern for him outweighs her trepidation about speaking up, and a message dings into his inbox.]
Then at least let me help. It doesn't have to be all the time. But it just takes two people to generate Chroma, right? So let me help keep you safe, and I'll feel better.
[It's a good thing this isn't an in-person conversation, so no one hears her audible sigh of relief, or the way she full-body relaxes like a whole weight of tension leaves her in an instant.]
Great! I'm glad. I'm really glad.
As for needing anything...I'm thinking about getting a job, so if they need somebody to vouch for me before they hire me, can I tell them they can ask you? Don't say anything mean about me, okay?
[ He cannot help but blink a few times at that idea. But he does lift his chin up and go, "Ah." ]
We can always ask the people who came before us if the weather changes, too. Though, even if it doesn't, if the coat is nice enough... no reason not to wear it. [ 'Cause it's fun. Do it because it's fun! The only reason to do anything! ]
