It... might have been for the better anyway, I guess. Since it might have been a little questionable in the first place and sure as shit not legal back home. [Age differences are utter shit as far as she's concerned, but what she had heard of that history also didn't make her more keen to get involved with him, but to back off instead.
Was it a good idea to continue that mess?]
I... guess it'd be not being as aggressive and abrasive as I am, which isn't an easy thing to fix to begin with. When you're used to fighting tooth and nail for someone just looking at you the wrong way to keep up and image. Or to protect yourself if someone comes after you for supposedly being weak.
Or, you know, just holding onto your anger because of the bullshit in your life that you can't do a damn thing to fix because it doesn't involve you in the long run and it's not your place.
[This is going further than she had meant for it to, really.]
I'm sure he hates me now, anyway, after the shit I said. But it hurt and I had told and showed him things I hadn't to anyone else and it just got thrown back in my face instead.

[There's a faint bitter note when he says that, but he listens. Illegal? Age, he assumes, but considering the age of most students here, it couldn't be less than a decade at most. And to his perception of time, such a thing was practically non-existent to consider.
Oh, perhaps not in the eyes of the law. But who cared about what the law wanted, anyway?]
But, of course it hurts. Revealing yourself so deeply is always a risk - one that can always backfire on you, if you're not careful. But -
[He pauses, before looking her right in eyes, his butterflies fluttering around him quietly.]
...What do you want, Jolyne?
[It's said softly, but -
he feels no one has ever bothered to ask her what she wanted, in the end.]
You've realized - you can't continue this way. Even through the pain of separation, you're still trying, instead of shutting out the world and handling it through your anger. But - what kind of person, in the end, do you want to be?
no subject
Continuing on doesn't help this feeling, either, slowly taking a deep breath to hopefully calm down her frazzled nerves. What does she want? Where does she want to be? Who is she actually? She doesn't know, that's the problem.]
I... I don't know. [Her voice is soft, careful, hesitating on those words.]
I just want to go back to being normal, I guess? Be somewhere quiet where my reputation doesn't matter and I can just pretend none of this happened, not have to worry about the supernatural or any other bullshit like that?
I don't know how that'd even be... possible at this point, so it's just a real unobtainable dream than anything else.
no subject
[His voice is calm, his hands lacing together on the desk - back straight, looking just like the professor he really is.]
Then again, it would be a simple thing for 'Jolyne Kujo' to die during Nightfall, and make a new identity for yourself if you truly wish to be free of this.
...The choice, however, is yours - and I am not completely aware of the circumstances surrounding you.
no subject
However, the last parts have her letting out a bark of a laugh and leaning back in her chair a bit.]
If only it was that simple! Even if I pretended to die, to get a new identity, this fucking birthmark is enough to give me away. And, evidently, trouble finds us whether we want it to or not, so I'm kinda stuck.
no subject
[If it's just a birthmark, then it's easily hidden, but....if it's magic bullshit, then he can understand the issue.]
Regardless, then merely use your success to argue for yourself, if they attempt to immediately press you into service after. At the very least, you should be able to get a few years to yourself.
...However. It may be best to eventually make peace with what your life has become - even as unfair as that may seem.
no subject
[It's all kind of magic bullshit curse nonsense and she hates it and doesn't entirely understand it still, herself.]
It's tempting to take those few years and find a way to disappear entirely, but given the Foundation... [She trails off with a frown.]
If anyone could find me, it'd be them.
no subject
Did they ever make clear what it is that they want you to do after Nightfall is averted?
no subject
Not exactly, but if it's like any of the rest of my fucking family, then they'd want me to get involved in any Stand related bullshit that might pop up somewhere. Depends on the type, depends on the place.
Which, honestly, there's fucking at least four others still kicking around, so why the fuck does it matter? [One literally does not count, but it's fine.]
no subject
[He's just trying to talk this out - if it's not often, then it's a pretty fair deal, honestly.]
no subject
If they're going with home turf for each of us, which makes no sense since two of them are fucking Japanese, then I guess it depends on how much shit pops up in the states or I guess South America or what-the-fuck-ever.
