It's a pattern that Emporio himself has recognized; while there are certainly more questionable sorts on the train, the vast majority he's seen- spoken to, met in passing, even just been told about- are people who at least somewhat are willing to help. Willing to do something, if it means preventing disaster.
Occasionally people like Dio are there, but as far as the boy can tell at least, thus far Dio fits that category. Perhaps not a hero, no not at all.
But someone who could at least be willing, given the right moment, to try and help rather than hinder.
Dio sits down, and the motion is so shocking that he nearly misses what the man says. 'End'? That alone is already such a deviation from what Pucci had been doing. There was no 'end' of 'fate', only inevitable perpetuation. There wasn't even rewriting- not outside...
"...When he reset everything, he just made everything happen as it always had, except for the ones he killed," he says softly, looking to the side as he grips his arm. "He... ...replaced them, saying he didn't need them in his 'perfect world'. Everything... ...Everything that was going to happen, everyone somehow knew...but no matter what, we all moved toward what that thing was," he continues, his voice tight with fear as he recalls his desperate and fruitless attempts to avoid what would have normally been his refuge.
"...It feels like... ...it almost feels like he took what you said and made it the opposite now," Emporio admits. "...even..."
He stiffens, a small frown coming over his face as he realizes something. When he had been chasing the boy, shouting that if he allowed him to live- if Pucci allowed him to persist and escape with the dolphin- he would have one day returned and killed him in his revenge.
...had Pucci...without realizing it then, rather than preventing that...
Inwardly he shakes himself of the thought. "...Your failure?" A blink, and he continues. "...That he didn't understand what you meant, you mean?" What would it even have looked like, if he had? Would Pucci have still so intensely targeted Jolyne to get to Jotaro? Probably, if he thinks about it. Pucci had wanted Jotaro's memories for a reason, and while the execution afterward had been repetitions of fate, who was to say that would have been the guaranteed end result? What if it could have been used for the opposite? What if... "That isn't..."
...He trails off, realizing something that is perhaps a little grim. "...I guess...technically, everyone there is, now..."
As far as he knows after all, there's no world at all.
crawls back from work days later- i maaaade iiiit
