No, you haven't.

Burning Down the House doesn't manifest like the others do- it was just something I could do...er, 'use', I guess. It lets me interact with 'ghost objects'. You know the Burned Tower? In Ecruteak? During those weekends where our powers return, I can access the tower that used to be there.

...The Ghost Room at Green Dolphin... ...the prison that Jolyne was incarcerated at... ...That's where I lived. ...That's where I grew up.

[Bruno's quiet as Emporio explains.

Okay, so. This puts a lot into perspective, even if Bruno does not like it.

So he just nods thoughtfully.]

I see... this explains a lot. Thank you for telling me this. Coming to Kanto and Johto must have been quite the change for you, then.

[seacub]

[The smile is. Pained. At least he isn't...outwardly being weird about it? He's definitely bracing for a shift in behavior over the next few days though.] It was a lot more space at least. And more people. Like I said, I was more used to...well. Being alone.

[nellacerniera]

[He nods.]

... But now you don't have to be alone if you don't want to be.

[seacub]

It...is more fun travelling in a group, [he agrees, even if it's with a nervous smile.] ...Especially without enemy Stands targeting my friends.

[nellacerniera]

[... Yeah, "enemy Stands" says plenty. Bruno huffs out a laugh.]

You can certainly say that again...

[seacub]

I feel like if I do I'll jinx it...

[nellacerniera]

Well, if you do, that's most likely a problem for one of those weekends when abilities come back.

[Bruno please]

But it's probably best to leave such things be anyway, hm?

[seacub]

Probably, yeah..!
