[Geil's death had been sweet. He'd enjoyed it. It hadn't helped, not the way he'd thought it would-- but god, he's glad that bastard is dead. Even now, with his own grief renewed, with Sherry's memory still sullied by the things he'd done to save Reimi, he's content in that knowledge.]

[It occurs to him that this is the first time Bruno's ever used his first name, and it's noticeable for a couple reasons. The first: he's starting to become attune to these kinds of things with Bruno, for reasons he's still not quite ready to articulate, much less acknowledge. It's there, yeah, a spark of a thought ready to be probed, but just as he had the night they'd been drinking, Polnareff pushes the thought away. Not yet. Soon, but not yet.
The second reason: people so rarely use his first name nowadays. Jean, which has become a sort of shorthand for when people really mean what they say. I won't leave you alone, Jean, that's the last time he heard it, a fervent text from Jotaro that had meant the world to him.
He likes it. He liked it then and he likes it now, coming from Bruno.]
