[All the things he can think of are pretty horrible.
And now, on top of all the terrible things he's been feeling, all the terrible things he's done...
He's a murderer, too.]
There isn't anything else?
[He should respond to that heartfelt piece of information, but he's too frantic, too paranoid at the moment. This is a part of his problem, being self-centered. Giorno, at the very least, doesn't seem like the type of person to judge Jin for what he'd admitted.]
You're sure. That's all?
[Because god forbid Achilles learn any of the things Asher hates most about himself.]

[Jin stops to think. If he hadn't been so sure that Giorno wouldn't have been judgmental of his own secret, he doesn't know what he'd have been able to comfortably share, either.
It occurs to him, too, that he doesn't know very much about Asher himself at all-- and that is enough to give him pause. He exhales, staring down into his magitek's gem, and speaks.]

What thing?

[Thankfully, this isn't a video, otherwise he would have given the other a deadpan stare.]
That's not a secret.

His heartbeat picks up somewhat, although he's not sure why.]
No, you're right.
