[Joseph is quiet, considering this carefully. Even without most of the context, he can imagine his older self taking issue with the fact that Jotaro and his parents aren't in America. Especially if whatever he ends up doing after saving the world makes him too busy to travel.]

Given our family history, I can assume the world trip wasn't a fun vacation. There's always something. [His tone softens, and he looks visibly uncomfortable with the moment of sincerity.] I guess I can't expect us to be best friends, but... you seem like you grew up well.

... Some parts were fun. A lot of it wasn't. [Jotaro hesitates whether or not to explain more. On one hand, it doesn't matter if he says something because Joseph hasn't experienced it. On the other hand, there's no harm in mentioning it because it doesn't matter.] But it ended up fine in the end.

[Jotaro pauses. He's also surprised at the sincerity but he smiles softly.]

My childhood was great. Can't fault you or my parents. [The rest of his life though... well... Jotaro wouldn't say the same but he's not gonna tell Joseph that. Not relevant.]

[It is a nice moment.

Unfortunately, the level of sincerity is starting to make Joseph uncomfortable, so he can't help making a joke.]

Well, of course you can't fault me. I never do anything wrong.

[Jotaro rolls his eyes. Of course, he'd break a nice moment like this. Then again, it wouldn't be his grandfather if he wasn't putting his foot in his mouth.]

Except when you do. How many planes have you crashed at this point, Joseph?
