Reading KHR in Japanese (6)
In Japanese, we can get a person's character and personality by the way of speaks. How about first generation.
Giotto
First person : "Ore"
Second person : "Omae"
On the whole : Genuine, Strong-willed
His speaking is similar to Hyper Tsuna. Well, it's more correct to say that Tsuna similar to him. Of course, Giotto is more gentle and mature. He is always calm, if he gets emotional, his speaking is undisturbed.
When he sent the letter to Simmon, he began with a humorous greeting. It appears to be a letter that Giotto, as an individual, typically sends to close friends. But such softness is disappear when he write about recent developments and struggles as the boss of Vongola. He confides his concerns to Simmon in the letter, but we don't feel his weakness by this. It is clear that he has taken it seriously.
Simmon
First person : "Ore"
Second person : "Kimi" / "Omae"
On the whole : Gently, Strong-willed
He speaks even gentler than Giotto. And he's also looks a bit modest. Ennma's lack of confidence makes his quiet impression, but Simmon's calm makes him quiet. Also he says things once and for all. As G described him as stubborn, he has strong will. So, behind his softness is a strong conviction, and we can tell from the way he speaks that he is faithful and sincere to it.
He went to the battlefield to help Giotto, knowing it was a trap. He was extremely calm when Daemon's men came to attack his family. And he didn't speak like be felt angry or intimidate them. Rather, he speaks in a way that makes his will heard by the Family and their enemies.
Let's take more cues from the way they spoke when they first met and when they made their "vow".
When they first met, their way of speaking is youthful and soft. There is never roughness in them, but lightly. They are just like close friends, and seem to be age-appropriate.
When they made a "vow," we can see many things. It's not as light or youth as when they first meet. They are the bosses, speak on behalf of the organization. Their speaking is full of responsibility. They think about "what I can do for his family". Their subject is "We" or "My family", not "I".
When they speak as individual or friends, they do so with an atmosphere of lightness and softness, as when they first met. But when they speak about the family, they don't speak as individual but as one who bears the family. And they have very few opportunities to speak as individuals in late story.
But at the same time, it can feel there is a strong sense of trust in friends. Simmon's motivation was always Giotto, not Vongola. He went to battle field and continued to fight, for his friend. And Giotto, he decided to start a family by Simmon's words. And when Simmon decided to live in the shadows, Giotto trusted him and accepted his decision. They always believed in friends who shared their will. And they speak with strong convinced about their friend, no matter how far away they are.
Their speaks is not similar. Perhaps their personalities differ in several ways. But they have common things that they have faith, they have trust, and they will do everything in their power to protect their friends or people. If their situation were reversed it equally makes us feel that they will be their best for each other.
They are both calm. But relatively, Simmon is more stable and Giotto is more passionate. Also maybe because of their era, both are formal and solid. Even discounting age, it's more sophistication impression than Tsuna and Enma. So we can see that Tsuna and Enma are very similar to Giotto and Simmon, but they aren't same. It's different individual. It have very little information about guardians, but that is also true with them.

Auri: “She knew the true shape of the world. All else was shadow and the sound of distant drums.”
Simmon: "Am I your touchstone or not? This is going to get tedious if I have to tell you everything three times before you listen.”

The Scrael don’t simply look/feel like stone. They *are* stone; puppets that can only be created through the application of the True Name of Stone.
Let’s just say that Fela and Sim’s relationship ended .... poorly.

I feel like the Kingkiller books are a safe space. Kvothe gets into trouble to standing up to student bullies like Ambrose and to people like Master Hemme. And instead of victim blaming him for not having more finesse or calm, Sim tells him kindly to lay low. He tells him it’s ok to take a break for his health or reputation and to come back later.
