[ Somewhere around town-- at the bookstore, the Tomoe-Kaname Bakery, attached to posts and notice boards --you find a small white notecard. On it is printed a little message and some numbers in ornate lettering. If you look closely, it reads the following: ]

It doesn't sound gross. It sounds like us.

[THAT LOGIC HOLDS UP A LOT LESS STRONGLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT YOU, IN FACT, ARE GROSS, JOTARO.

BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT.]

I'll never get over how you do this. Just...take an idea, or a feeling, or a viewpoint, or something. And make it into an image on a canvas.

[ I DUNNO JOTARO YOU'RE PRETTY GROSS

Still, Rohan smiles among all the preening, stopping in the middle to smile at him. ]

I worked a long time to get to where I am. Contrary to popular belief I didn't fall out being able to draw. I have learned introspection in lieu of my preference toward reality.

This is a meld of both. A feeling and the reality of it. I love you, Jotaro. You are the only person I can say such a thing to, and I think that is why you deserve the most quality product to look at every day.

[ He purses his lips. That all came out at once. ]

I like having something and someone to be proud of. The only thing I have ever wanted in life is to have people enjoy my work. You enjoy it more than anybody... That is a self-actualization goal for me.

Thank you for the privilege.
