"*sigh*I get that you're panicked but I'll introduce my self. I am Camila, I know I'm supposed to ask before taking the racer Dio from you. It must've hurt to see someone you loved taken away. But I am a stand user as well. My stand 'Sex with a Ghost', no my ability isn't like what it sounds like. It's ability is to re form missing parts of someone's dead body.

Let's say it's useful for some family member who's dead but the body is scattered, and only has a little part of it, I can reform that tiny bit of flesh into a full form again so they don't die a painful death. But with him is pretty odd, as I tried to reform his missing head, the gushing blood from his guts started forming tiny Dinosaur. It might've been his stand ability" She explained.

"No doubt"HP said quietly. "Pardon? What was that" Camila asked. "I didn't say anything" She replied with a cold tone.


"You must've been someone special to him right?" Camila asked. "No" HP said. "Oh wasn't the rumor true? You and the racer Diego had something wasn't it? You're the racer Hot Pants" Camila said. "That's bold to assume but you got the wrong person. I'm just a guard on duty" She said in a monotone.


"Look loosing him wasn't easy for you and I can feel it through your aura. Your facial muscles are tense, It's okay you can tell me. I won't tell anyone" Camila pat HP on her back.


HP knocked Camila's hand away "That's no excuse to pretend that you're nice to me or prove that you've made up to me. You stole his literal dead body from me while I am eating" She grunts. "I am incredibly sorry erm... apologies but your name is?" Cam paused "Ho- uhm Lisa Lisa" She answered. "Right Lisa Lisa my deepest apologies first, for your loss and taking what's yours is wrong. But I can't help smelling the scent of Diego from far away and only have an intention to heal him. I was gonna put it back to your horse but I didn't expect you to be this fast noticing that his corpse went missing. I thought it'll make you feel better to see his corpse not in pieces since you look very gloomy ever since you enter San Lorenzo. Our people have a belief a gloomy person can ruin everyone's day. And I think that your loved ones don't deserve to die in a cruel way" Camila explained. 

"Woman, I'm sure I made myself clear that Diego Brando and I are nothing but someone who happened to know each other. Even if there is a thing between us, it no longer matter now that one of us is deceased" She looked at Camila in the eyes with a darting glare and Monotone voice.

"You know one of the Dinosaur that attacked Avery was visible to me. And I know you wouldn't listen but, even if you have nothing with him or cut all ties. Deep down his blood memory's first instinct was to protect you" Camila said.

"Or he just have something against Ave" HP snapped. "Dear, it's rare for visitors to come here, This year was the most visitors we got and you are the fifth one. And the boy, Avery had never been outside the village and you know him, he is a blabber mouth. He could never keep a single secret" Camila explained.

"And you never knew the true Dio. He could sneak in anywhere with no trace, he could traumatize someone that they wished they were never born and never speak again of what happened" She looked at her with her dark glare.

"You know him better than I do. But if it were for Avery it was too much of a coincidence when he attacked him during Avery's assault to you" Camila said.

"I am a mother of two girls and I understand and I've been there before. I know you don't wanna tell me what happened but if you ever need anything I'll help you with anything I can" Camila continued.


HP walked closer to Diego's body and took the deepest breath. She tucked his hair behind his ear and get a better look to his face. She caress his cheek and her hand trailed down to where his guts were spilling out.  Her hand touched his guts carefully and take a look at it. She rubbed the blood between her fingers. 

"Sorry to keep you waiting" She whispered to him and looked back to where Camila was standing. "Prepare his burial" HP said so sudden. "What? But I haven't restore his guts" "I've made my decisions and that will be final. And leave his guts that way. I'm sure he wants to keep the battle scar" She clenched her fist and bit her bottom lip letting go the thought of him as much as she doesn't want to. The first plan wasn't to bury him in some random place but to bringing him back to England is too much of a risk. Not only for his corpse but for her identity as well. But now that she knows this village is nowhere and almost impossible to be found it's better this way. 

Now that a lot of agents are in search for his dead body for experiments due to his Scary Monsters ability, anyone would barely find this place and would be doubtful if Diego's funeral was in some random village. 

The sun sets quickly as Diego was buried. Before they covered him with the dirt, HP snuck in her "HP" initial on her belt. She broke it off the chain and wrapped it around Dio's hand along with the holy corpse nail flake from Lucy now that HP doesn't need it anymore. She scoffed and smiled "Remember that time when you have to disguise yourself as a guard?  You told me to hold your badge so you don't accidentally pulled it out. And when I gave it back to you, you we're such an arrogant little brat and you told me 'You might wanna keep it. One day when I'm famous you'll appreciate it and have a special souvenir from I, Dio! You'll be my super special fan' and you know what? this'll be how I remember you. In exchange, you can keep mine even if you don't know it" She sighed and stood up.

She took the deepest breath and took the shovel to burry him completely. This is it, the moment where she has to forget him in any ways but only keeping the memory of him as an ally. So that any possible suspicion would not be in her way.

The tiny dinosaurs that was playing with Camila's daughter slowly fades away into tiny blooming Carnation flowers decorating their garden with flower flakes all over it. 


HP took another step away from Camila's house and that's when she stopped her. "Lisa Lisa isn't  it gonna be dark soon? You can stay over for the night. It's gonna be dangerous out there." Camila said in a worry tone.


"Train station is 50 km away. I'll reach there in no time and my ride will board in about 2 hours from now so that's enough time for me. And oh Camila, please keep an eye on Dio- erm I mean Diego Brando for me" And that's when she drift off from the heart warming village.


Gets up ran at full speed to reach the train station. HP changed her entire fit into a warmer coat now that the season is getting cold and hid any suspicious trace that once was her HP persona. She got in the train and got a real rest for the first time after the Steel Ball Run race. She glared into the void of the train window where she thinks of the people she met, and the foes she made. One trust worthy ally that'll stay forever in her mind. She take a look at the badge that was given to her and traced her finger around the three bold letters that's written on in "D.... I.... O.... Dio. You're one crazy bastard" she smiled and wrapped the badge between her hands. She kept it somewhere safe in her shirt pocket under her coat.
