Why even bother having a daughter that you don't want. Something like that always makes me wonder.

[Oops, her issues are showing. Better regroup, and fast.]

He wanted her dead because she knew who he was?

...No, that can't be right. You were on the beach trying to track him down directly, and if you could've gotten the same information through saving her, you wouldn't have bothered. You would've focused all your attention on helping her, and efficiently accomplished two goals at once.

So it must be something else. Not that she knew him, but that she was a link to him. To truly stay hidden, he needed to erase all evidence that he ever existed, and she was a threat to that.

[whats up you got DADDY ISSUES? Abbacchio does notice, but he won't bring it up right now.]

see
you're so fucking sharp.

[He can't show it well through text, but he is proud.]

he didn't know she existed until her mom died and was trying to track him down.
her mom mentioned a location where he had been when they knew each other
and that was while i was rewinding time to see his face.

Did you ever learn her name? The girl.

The boss must not have been very good at his job, if he was that obsessive about keeping his identity a secret. That sort of profession should have had him orchestrating a cult of personality, not hiding his identity. That suggests he was weak and afraid of being overthrown at any moment.

yeah.
we were first assigned as her bodyguards to deliver her to the boss. we didnt know his real intentions we just assumed he was going to put her somewhere safe
it never occurred to any of us how far he'd go

you wouldnt be wrong
maybe weak of character but his abilities were powerful
thats the part that made him dangerous

He was like you, then. He had something like Moody Blues?

I'm going to guess that your capo did, too. That seems to be a trend.

yeah they both did
they're called stands
each one usually just has one specific ability
not everyone has a stand though
in our case, there was a test you had to go through in order to join the mafia. you either died or you got a stand
goes without saying but you'll wanna keep that to yourself

I think you said that Moody Blues was humanoid, didn't you? I assumed he was something like a security camera, but you said he was more of a person.

Do all Stands have to be humanoid?

nah far from a requirement
i think they often just happen to be because they're supposed to be our inner fighting spirit or some shit
so usually that'll be pretty humanoid i suppose
but it's not always that way.

Is it possible to know a Stand's abilities just by looking at it?

I suppose what I'm wondering is, is there benefit to keeping it a secret, or some reason that someone would want to keep their Stand hidden?

you can't just interpret based on appearances alone
knowing what a stand does makes it easier for you to plan accordingly on how to approach your enemy. so yeah, a lot of people made it a habit to keep it to themselves except for their teammates.
and the boss certainly didn't share information about his.

So if you were to uncover that sort of secret — knowledge about your enemy's Stand — you would want to transmit that knowledge to your allies as quickly as possible, in any way that you could.

...This may go without saying, but were there any Japanese members of your mafia? I don't need names or information about them. Yes or no is fine.

ideally yeah

japanese?
no i dont think so
most of us were born and raised in italy
had something in mind?

I met someone with a Stand. Before you showed me yours, even. I didn't know what it was at the time, of course, but now I'm confident in it.

He was desperate to have a nonsensical message delivered. I think he might have been trying to warn someone about a Stand he had gathered some information on.

seriously?
wonder if i know the guy

i dont know anything about that.
but it wouldnt surprise me
if you can figure out the abilities of someone's stand, you can theoretically strategize around it even if it's powerful.

I doubt it. His gem growth is like yours.

I'm meeting all sorts of interesting boys these days, Abbacchio-kun.

like mine
in where a wound was?

wow do i have to threaten his kneecaps too

I think so. He said it was from a car accident, and he was lying.

There's no need. I attempted Synchrony with him and it was terrible. I doubt either of us has any interest in pursuing that any further.

yeah i wouldnt believe that for a second either

ha
well he's missing out
but you're probably better off too

You don't talk much about the people you've met, you know.

How will I ever threaten their kneecaps if I don't know who they are?

wow when you put it that way

you really wanna hear about the people ive hung out with here?

If you want to tell me. Since we've decided to care about what's best for each other, it would make things a lot simpler.

[oh

that's really fucking sweet. oldmanclutchingchestmeme]

well
i havent really socialized that much
but i did bring this guy named yuri some cannoli the other day
pretty guy to look at but i get the feeling he's the scheming type too
not really a bad thing

"The scheming type"?

i guess it's better to phrase it at someone who's constantly calculating about things that may benefit him
so he knows how to work people.
that sounds worse than it really is but admittedly i dont know enough about him to make a judgment call

You seem to be a magnet for those types of people.

Does he seem interested in you?
