Well, you see, I keep getting stopped on the street by policemen yelling at me for being truant and telling me to go back to school. [ because he dresses in uniform... ]
You're super fashionable, so I thought maybe you can pick something out for me?
Oh? Yeah, of course. I'm the last one who's gonna let 'em send you to school here. [ imagine the education. ] What kinda clothes would you like to wear? Let's start with that.
Huh? No, I'm pretty much always wearing my school uniform, so I didn't really need new clothes.
[ Maybe some new sizes as he grew taller, but he didn't exactly shoot up like a beanstalk anyways. There was zero reason to ever dress like a normal person. ]
Yeah, he sure did. Went on a lot of adventures with him—he traveled to all sorts of places... from Tokyo, Japan all the way to Cairo, Egypt... Guy couldn't stand still, I guess. That's what my mama said.
[ it is! but strangely, the torn part matches the dark portion of jolyne's hair perfectly (just like it does jotaro in the picture). she just smiles a little. ]
It's not what came with me, though. I got it from the shopping app, just to see how far it could reach for these "sentimental objects."
[ she looks a little torn for a minute before shaking her head. ]
He's dead. So no... he isn't gonna notice it's gone. [ she shrugs a little bit ] Figured if anything, when things are all over, I can return to to him when I see him next...
[ He was about to go "oh, same!" but balks a little at how seriously Jolyne takes it. How she considers this a second change, and meanwhile Hanako is here playing around for the heck of it
"there are no second chances"
"if you couldn't do something in life, you can't do it in death"
he doesn't tell her either of these things ]
...you know, I bet to a lot of people, just meeting you, getting to become friends with you... that makes it all worth it already.
[ there are no second chances, just the chance you give to others upon departure. she thinks about emporio, she thinks about how she's left him behind. but it's okay, he's going to be okay. ]
I feel the same, getting to meet you all is a real treat, if I'm gonna be real and sappy about it.
[ when your hands are stuck together but it's fine because ur not gonna let go anyways. ]
So. We find you the coolest outfit to match your hat, heh. Lots of pockets, maybe a jacket full of em on the inside?

[ she'll offer him an easy smile, the mice are so important right now... she will always have time for them... ]
Yeah, of course I got time. What's up?

[ so he can stow away knives and not drop them on people's feet when manhandled during trials ]
no subject
Oh yeah? I think I got you on that one—People might still try to send you to school though, considering how young you are.
[ but kids deserve to be safe and that includes carrying 80 knives. ]
But c'mon— [ she will offer a hand if he would like it ] —Let's see what we can find. You like any colors in particular?
no subject
He does take Jolyne's hand, though, comfortable ]
Hmmm... black and red, I guess?
[ basically what he's used to wearing, a black uniform with red accents ]
no subject
Good colors, we can work with that. Anyone ever take you shopping before, Hanako?
[ oh no she's into it ] You want shoes too? And a new hat, maybe?
no subject
[ Maybe some new sizes as he grew taller, but he didn't exactly shoot up like a beanstalk anyways. There was zero reason to ever dress like a normal person. ]
You don't think my hat is cool...?
[ he likes his hat... ]
no subject
Actually, I do. Just wasn't sure if you maybe wanted another.
[ she will pause and fish around her bag with her free hand and just very quickly pops a hat on her own head. she grins ]
In fact, we match kinda. My old man's hat's been through a lot though—he was kinda a delinquent. [ like me...... ]
no subject
It's flashier than his own hat, but it looks like it would fit as part of a school uniform and frankly? being matchies makes him happy ]
Haha! It's so beat up! He must've really cherished it.
[ it's torn in the back or something isn't it? ]
Is this what came with you, initially?
no subject
[ it is! but strangely, the torn part matches the dark portion of jolyne's hair perfectly (just like it does jotaro in the picture). she just smiles a little. ]
It's not what came with me, though. I got it from the shopping app, just to see how far it could reach for these "sentimental objects."
no subject
Oh... I saw that on the app, but I don't have anything like that, so I couldn't give it a try.
[ He has sentimental... people. But no objects. Nothing really to his name that he can call his own ]
...your dad would definitely know if his hat went missing, right? He'd know something's up?
no subject
[ she looks a little torn for a minute before shaking her head. ]
He's dead. So no... he isn't gonna notice it's gone. [ she shrugs a little bit ] Figured if anything, when things are all over, I can return to to him when I see him next...
no subject
You're not going to die.

[ lifting her head ]
It's why this feels like a second chance... Maybe I can help protect people here too. Make it worth it.
