Benares, India. December 12th, 1988.

Our heroes had to travel by bus to the holy city of Benares. Half asleep on Kakyoin's shoulder, (Y/N) was listening to the fibs that came out of Polnareff's mouth while he was chatting with the young woman from the day before.

"You know, I'm not one to give lessons. The real idiot is the one who understands nothing, absolutely nothing. You can explain them a hundred times, some people just don't get it! By the way, you didn't tell me your name.

- ... Nena.

- Nena? It sounds nice. I suppose you are the daughter of a wealthy family in Benares. You're pretty, you look smart. I have an eye for that myself. That's why I'm lecturing you. Hol Horse is just a little scoundrel, he lies like he breathes. You're being fooled, think of your parents! Listen to me, you don't have to be like that. They say love makes you blind, b-

- Jean-Pierre, she doesn't give a fuck about what you're telling her.

- Naaah, stop, she only has it for my eyes, she's hanging on my every word!

- Suuure.

- That's it, we're getting there", Kakyoin announced to cut short all the nonsense that Polnareff could rant about.

Outside, the scenery was beautiful. The Ganges reflected the city's thousand colors. Loads of people were bathing in the sacred river as our heroes got off the bus. And (Y/N) kept looking at them curiously.

"They do everything in this river," Kakyoin told her. "That's why there are so many people.

- Say, I was thinking.

- Mmm?

- When we're done, we should go back to these places, just to visit a little."

Kakyoin nodded, smiling. Of course he really wanted to do some sightseeing, especially as he enjoyed discovering new cultures so much.

"Is there a problem? It doesn't look good, old man."

Immediately, (Y/N) turned around upon hearing Jotaro's question, to see that Joseph kept scratching his forearm.

"I feel like my mosquito bite got infected.

- It's swollen", Jotaro answered. "You should show this to a doctor before it gets worse.

- Is it me or does it look like a face?" Polnareff asked, leaning over to take a closer look.

"Don't mess with it, Polnareff.

- Sorry!

- He's right, I think", (Y/N) added. "I have a little doubt, are you sure it's a bug bite Mr. Joestar?

- Uh... I think so? What else do you want it to be?

- I wouldn't be surprised if a Stand could take this form, to be honest.

- But I haven't been attacked yet!

- Maybe not... Go quickly to a doctor. Want one of us to come with you?

- I'll be fine, thank you. Don't take me for an old man!

- Oh, I wouldn't dare!" the young woman exclaimed, laughing.

After waving them goodbye, Joseph walked away. The rest of the group went to their new hotel. When it was time to take the keys, Polnareff asked.

"Well, how do we sleep?
