[Bruno wouldn't have faulted Polnareff if he did pass judgment. There were a lot of kids out there with problems, but not every single one was directed by Bruno to Polpo. He was careful and selective because there was always a chance that some of those kids, it was just a momentary blip in their lives where things were hard and seemingly insurmountable. But they'd drift away from the fringes with a gentle nudge and be back to life as usual.]

[Regardless of where Polnareff does or doesn't end up in his future doesn't really factor into it. Right now, Polnareff's not the sort of person who exists primarily in the fringes and Bruno doesn't anticipate immediate understanding.]

[So, Bruno is merely quietly grateful for it as he watches Chariot for a moment. This is actually his first time seeing Polnareff's Stand as it was before it became Silver Chariot Requiem. His gaze slips over to Polnareff as Sticky Fingers appears beside him.]

Certamente, Polnareff. I've spent plenty of time by the sea, but it will be nice to actually be on the water again.

[Sticky Fingers moves to a tree, striking it with a fist and immediately creating a zipper at its base.]

So really, it should be me that's thanking you.
