[It's perhaps not fair. If he doesn't know, how can she prove it?
She has evidence. She has lots of it, circumstantial for awhile, and then explicit considering what she witnessed in Felfri. She could see Doppio retreat and Diavolo try to analyze in the same instant, a body trying to act on two whims when they've likely never fought for control at any time because Doppio was always happy to relinquish it.
Happy, but maybe it's just been something they've always done. Maybe there was never just Solido, and Doppio can only remember what happened after he met the boss because those memories are solely held within Diavolo's mind. It's weird to think, but she supposes it makes some sense. But then, Diavolo still doesn't fit any part of her mother's recounting. Doppio must have played a role. Just like Cervo plays a role, and Diavolo plays a role.
It makes too much sense for him to be someone who only existed after Sardinia. Unless Sardinia is when they split? She thinks on Polnareff's story, but for something like this...it's just too hard to say.]
It makes you a coward because what you know is only what you've been told.
Do you mean to tell me you never asked for more than the role bestowed upon you? That you never wondered who you were before? Only a coward would be so afraid to know that they'd never look for the answer themselves.
I risked what little I had left to find out what kind of person my father was. I wanted to know where I came from. I'm not happier knowing the ugly truth, but I'm stronger for surviving the trial to get it. If I'd turned away from it, I'm sure I would've only been successful in dying in ignorance, just like he wanted for me from the start.
