[ the restaurant is warm when they walk in, and tonio has a table ready for the young don and the mangaka. he tries not to be too formal with giorno despite the latter's insistence, and with rohan he warmly welcomes him in his restaurant. giorno pulls a chair for rohan, and then seats himself. ]

Tonio reminds me of home. I'm glad he's doing so well in this town.

[ he looks at rohan, rather thoughtful. ] I'm surprised Morioh is good enough for you to stay in. I picture you more in the city, something like Tokyo, for example. [ but what does he know. rohan is the one who can read people like books, and while giorno does have the skill, it certainly doesn't compare to someone like him.

a funny thing, to have someone so powerful as kishibe rohan and yet not have his loyalty. the egoistic side of giorno is only the slightest bit offended at this arrangement. there are plenty of options available to someone who holds italy in the palm of his hand with a stand that cannot be matched and with men and women who are willing to lay their lives for him, and yet kishibe rohan will not be moved. it is maddening, but very intriguing to giorno. it keeps him coming back to this small town, even if it has other attractive citizens. ]
