...Then perhaps we should voice lingering doubts. Just in case.
[Adrian squeezes his hand, letting their fingers intertwine.]
I have loved before, but I have never loved so deeply before you. And I will continue to love you, even if we are separated. But I... refuse to end up anything like Father had.
Though there will always be the question on my mind that I cannot help -- am I enough? Not for anything you have done or said, but it's-- me. And I will wonder that too.
[Truthfully, Adrian has ever rarely felt like he was enough. He hadn't been enough for Dracula when he decided to wage war on humanity, nor enough for Trevor and Sypha to stay with him. Not enough for Taka and Sumi to trust him, to love him.
Jotaro's never given such an indication, and he does trust him, but those experiences have cut him deeply.]
