Indeed, a murder. Honestly Reira still hasn't fully apologized for it, which probably makes it worse.

Maybe she should do that.

That's not for Now though, right Now is Dio's talk, and that means thinking over the implications of... "...You mean...the one before the murderer as well, then..."

Well. So a future Dio caused a lot of problems, and also, maybe, killed Mr. Jonathan. Definitely killed Mr. Jonathan. (Though not really on the same day as the wedding, as they're both assuming)

"...I don't think that's your fault." She'll go on, trust her, but she leaves the words on the air a bit as she looks to Dio on the bed. "...Mr. Jonathan...that's JoJo right? ...But Mr. Jonathan hasn't been here very long right? So I don't think he expected it to be that day again. It's supposed to be a happy one, but there's probably a lot of bad feelings stuck there, since it hasn't been that long. It's not something good, being stuck like that...but I don't think it's something easy to stop. ...when you did leave... ...mnh." She pauses, thinking of the right words again. "...I guess it didn't work, obviously but... ...even though I only really saw him at Christmas...I think maybe, he'll at least think about the things you said for good reasons. Not for bad ones. He was here earlier this year too right? And he wasn't mean or rude, right? So...

"...Maybe he does want to give you a chance, at least. But more than that, I think even if someone else talked to him, he'd still be sad, or whatever he was." That's a blatant guess, but ultimately she's not that wrong. After all, Speedwagon, the Best Friend, was stuck.

And wasn't Dio the one who got him to stand?

Got Jonathan to stand, sure, but at what cost? Had it been worth all the remarks, all the painful memories dredged up from where they should have remained to die? Had it been worth that invasion of privacy? Had it been anything more than a forceful assertion of Dio's own feelings when it was Jonathan's that were most important?

He had gotten Jonathan to stand, but wouldn't he have been just as well sitting? Spending the day in his own way, as he had every right to?

Dio says nothing. How JoJo regards his words isn't important, and it never will be. He had still ferried more conflict to their humble home and left them with the burden of festering anger - if not Jonathan directly then Speedwagon, whom Jonathan will have to deal with. He still failed. He still made things worse.

He's quiet for a long time, lost in his own thoughts, until finally...

"...thank you for the kind words. I do appreciate them."

Quiet is important, Reira thinks. Sometimes you just need things to be quiet after all, even if the only thing happening in the end is feeling a bit worse.

"...They're true words, after all," is what Reira eventually says. And in the quiet, softly-

"...Do you just want to sit for a while? ...Like this, I mean?"

Despite the moment he takes to consider it, in his heart Dio wants nothing more than to jump at the offer, but he refrains from letting that 'yes' leave his lips. Maybe... there's something better he can say instead.

"...is that okay?"
