Dio Brando. This man, now a dead vampire, terrorized all Stand users.

He killed not only Stand users but also civilians, implanting parasites in their heads, draining women's blood to the last drop after nights spent together, giving many false hope, and...

And the most terrifying thing of all was that Jotaro lost Kakyoin. His best friend, the only person he could bring as close to his heart as he possibly could.

Not only did he die, his grandfather Joseph lost Avdol, and all these losses meant that no one else could reach Jotaro's heart. The trauma was too great.

However, you appeared in his line of sight. Your acquaintance with him was accidental. You bumped into him on your way to class. You were classmates, and that's what began to bring the two of you closer.

Jotaro was rude, which irritated you, but over time, you got used to it, as you began to notice signs of care and attention.

You didn't know him or his history. He saw you as Kakyoin. You were a long-term replacement, a full six months. And only then was he able to tell you the truth.

It was painful, unpleasant, and upsetting, but you understood what your new friend had been through, what his family had been through.

Time flew by, you became best friends, and you walked into his house as if it were your own. For the rest of his family, you quickly became like family. And yet, you knew perfectly well that they were all looking in you for the people who were no longer there.

But at the same time, you had another problem. You saw some strange creatures. One of these creatures was hovering near Jotaro, a humanoid creature with pinkish-purple skin and a bizarre face. Strange vines sprouted from Joseph's arms whenever he approached the television.

You didn't understand what it was. Jotaro often left to "talk" to someone on the phone, and you ended up watching these strange creatures fight. He was certain you couldn't see his Stand. He sincerely wanted to believe it, because no Stand had appeared behind you, and you showed no signs of it.

You remained silent, having learned to look past these creatures, and ignored them. Just like today.

You lived alone, as your parents had stayed in another country for work, and you were regularly sent money. You tried to read a book quietly, but your thoughts kept returning to the creatures that mimicked their owners' actions, attacked, and even seemed to think independently.

You were interrupted from your thoughts by a text from Jotaro, asking you to go outside and meet at your shared favorite spot.

You left the house, putting on a hoodie and scarf, and walked. It was chilly outside. And the most surprising thing was that when you saw Jotaro and approached him, he was smoking a cigarette as usual, and his creature was next to him. The first snow.

His blue eyes sparkled in the streetlights; God, how beautiful he was. You knew that perfectly well. But now he looked... Different? More mysterious and so delightful.

"Hey, wake up, who am I talking to?" Jotaro asked, snapping his fingers near your eyes.

You didn't notice how he started saying something to you.
