[ But it was you. It doesn't matter if it could have been anyone, because it wasn't just anyone. It was her.
He doesn't have time to say as much; she's asking him another question, and his dwindling patience is at odds with his genuine concern for her. If she was just anyone, he wouldn't be sitting here still, entertaining her theoretical (for him) scenarios. In his slice of Naples, his word had been law. Most people wouldn't try things like this. ]
I told you what I would do.
[ he would kill Doppio if he thought he could get away with it - or, at least, beat him badly enough that Doppio would wish he had. ]
But you're not me, and that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about what you did.
[ he folds his claws together, leaning back in his chair. ]
Listen to me, Trish. If you don't want to fight, then all you need to do is not start one. Avoid the Boss and this "Doppio." It should be simple. If they're really so interested in peace, they should know better than to try and broker it through you. It's more likely that the underboss was just appealing to your humanity so that he could get away from you in one piece. He happened to be crafty enough to make it work in his favor.
[ As expected of Passione's former underboss, really. ]
If you're so interested in peace, you should know better than to try talking to the man who tried to kill you about it. I'm disappointed that you'd go to him first. [ the circumstances don't really matter to him; the fact is that she decided to try all this with the enemy when she ostensibly had the upper hand. ] You should have consulted with Giorno if this is something you're concerned about. Or with me. Despite what you may think, you are on a side: ours. We're all allies.
