Life isn't beautiful because it lasts - (Josuke x Rohan)

Hesitantly, Rohan wrapped his arms around the younger man, rubbing his back in slow, soft, comforting circles, trying to think of an appropriate response.

"Well," The mangaka began, trying to keep his voice steady and strong for Josuke's sake. "Life isn't beautiful because it lasts."
