Your father didn't seem too scandalized when he threw a phone at me.
[It might come as a relief that he doesn't ask him to elaborate. Whatever happened before- well, he's figured out the hard way that letting himself get upset about these things, letting it take over his thoughts only makes things more complicated and difficult here. Maybe he's just been in Ryslig too long but he's learned to harden his heart.
But only to some things.]
He's not here anymore. Mr. Joestar, I mean.
[He pauses to lick his lips, feeling a slow, unwelcome pang of regret and sadness creep up over his chest. Strange to think that the last time he saw him- or Dio- was six months ago. The apartment hadn't felt right for weeks without them and, even now, it feels bereft of Joseph's bright presence and Dio's caustic humour.]
He left a long time ago.
[Fuck. The last thing he wants is to look vulnerable. Glancing away, Josuke draws the kitten back against his chest, stroking its tiny ears.]
I'd say that makes him pretty lucky. He got to go home and he has somewhere to go back to. [That last part he adds in deference to Kira's own situation, though he's not sure why. With a sigh, he holds up his mug and leans forward so that he can clink it against his.] Fuck this place and fuck what it's done to us.
[Whether he means it in the physical sense or the social one is hard to say.]
