忍び泣く

     The man’s words cause Hayato to wince. They sound harsh, especially coming from an unfaltering, large man like Jotaro. Even so, he finds himself questioning those words. 

     “So you don’t work toward anything? You just work to keep yourself busy?” he asks for clarification. He doesn’t understand why adults feel the need to constantly work. It seems pointless if they simply just do it… What about his family? If there’s anything he knows, it’s that working men neglect their families. He was never really close to his father, but he knows work consumed a huge fraction of his time. So was the same true about Jotaro?  

    "You don’t even have dreams with your family?“

       “I’m a marine biologist, and on top of that I work for the Speedwagon Foundation, but I wouldn’t consider what I do a dream of mine. I do it because I have to,” Jotaro admits. It’s nothing he doesn’t mind sharing with someone he hardly knows, and regardless, Hayato has more than proven himself given how he aided in handling all that Kira business. 

       However, as Hayato continues questioning him he presses into more personal territory. His family is something he rarely discusses with anyone other than Joseph and Josuke, and even then it’s something he tends to shy away from bringing up. As a result, Jotaro grunts and his features harden, casting the young boy a frown. 

       “Why are you asking me this? It’s none of your business.”
