(Your POV)
Today was a rare occasion, I was completely on my own. Everyone else was back at school, deciding what to do for the cultural festival. I was on my own, doing some research into who Reine was, I know that the teddy bear she has is the same one I gave the love of my life years ago, but Reine refuses to acknowledge my questions on the subject of where she got that bear. So I decided to do some digging on my own. As for who the love of my life is, well let's just say she's very similar to Kaede, hence why I developed a small crush for Kaede in the first place.

I was currently at the pharmacy where Reine gets her sleeping medicine, using my stand's first act to cover any essence of my presence as I looked through the medical files for Reine's orders. I have no leads on what Reine actually does outside of work, other than come to this pharmacy for sleeping medicine that she uses to stay awake at work. So I was looking around the files for any sort of information, like a bank number or something, but I'm not getting anything useful.

Out of nowhere, I get a call from Kotori, and I quickly answer it because my stand's power only applies to me, but not my phone. Unsurprisingly, Kotori didn't give me much time to respond to her on the phone, and to my surprise, she told me a new spirit has arrived, one known as <Diva>. From reports from the AST, she appears quite friendly and some AST members even had doubts about killing her. Granted, she is still very much alive, so I need to take care of her. Like she said earlier, <Diva> is known for being cooperative, so I can probably do this on my own.

I sighed and hung up the phone, later getting a text from Kotori about <Diva's> current location, which was an abandoned theatre. I used my phone to take pictures of the files containing Reine's information and left the pharmacy, feeling the sun burn above my head as I left. Lately, all my friends have been acting weird, and a new person joined our little social group, Tsumugi. Lately most of them have been debating whether we should kill her or not. Tenko, Maki, Kaito, Miu, Ryoma, Kirumi, and Korekiyo think we should kill her because of everything she's done. Meanwhile Rantaro, Kaede, Shuichi, Gonta, Kiibo, Himiko, and Angie think we should spare her because she has no memory of anything other than nerd culture. Kokichi didn't help at all, being the liar that he is. Tohka, Origami, Yuzuru, Kaguya, Kotori, Kurumi, Yoshino, Reine, and I were neutral because we didn't go through what they did.

I arrived at the abandoned theatre, and it looks like it was burnt down twenty or something years ago and people didn't really care enough to take care of what was left. The building was barely standing, and one foul breath looked like it could take the whole building down. I gently pushed open the door, desperately trying not to break it as I walked in. As I entered the theatre, the sound of someone singing could faintly be heard. I recognized the song as one of my favorite idols, Miku-Tan. I couldn't pinpoint the exact song, so I kept on walking forwards to see if I could hear her better.

I kept on walking and saw the door to the auditorium, I looked at the door and saw a girl who was most likely the target, but I noticed how she looks almost EXACTLY like Miku-Tan. Could it be like Kurumi's situation where she had incredible control of her powers? Either way, I needed to observe her more. I tried using my stand, but The Circle appeared to be tried, so I was on my own. I took a step into the room, and almost instantly, the door fell off its hinges and created a lot of noise. <Diva> looked at me, but she squinted, signaling that she had a hard time seeing. It was dark everywhere other than where she was standing, with the light source being a large hole in the ceiling.
