[It's an interesting turn of phrase Jill chooses, and one that snatches his attention and won't let it go again: someone's holy grail. That was what the crusades were always about, wasn't it? People chasing after something, an ideal, spurred on by their need to reach it.
Cairo was their holy grail, to all outward appearances. But even before his mom got sick, Jiji's crusade was still there. For him it was always about Dio Brando, and the body of Jonathan Joestar. Polnareff's crusade was about his sister's killer.
What was Kakyoin's holy grail? Did he even have one? Had he really only done everything he did for the sake of following along on someone else's crusade? Or...had there been something, all along, and he just hadn't realized it...?]
He wasn't...an extension of me. But we could fight like it, sometimes. I knew what he would do. He knew what I would do. It made us good. Better together than if we were alone.
[He faced Dio alone. He forced him into a corner the way that only Kakyoin and his Hierophant could have...]
I wasn't there when he died. Sometimes I think if I had been, I could've done something. Sometimes I'm not so sure.
...I know that I was the one he was thinking of, when he died. I think I was his Star, right then. I don't think I deserve it, but I think that's what he thought.
