JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 10: Mitternachts Walzer

Superstar PT 2

*At Harvard, Carrera approaches the art room to speak with Professor Aimes. The professor sulked at his desk and completely ignored the fact that his door opened.*

Carrera: Professor, I'd like to ask you some questions regarding the stand users we know of on the disk drive we acquired a while back.

Paul: ...

Carrera: I wanted to ask if you have seen any of these people recently and if they had your class.

Paul: No. Sorry.

Carrera: ...I see. Look, I know Gabriella's death hit you almost as hard as it hit Joanne, but you've got to pull yourself together. We have more work to do before the others return and if you all fall into despair over the death of one member, you won't truly be able to accept the fact that this is just one of many.

Paul: ...

Carrera: I'll be back at a later date. For now, think about what I said. I will be approaching people on campus that are verified to have stand abilities.

Paul: ...

Carrera: Oh! I almost forgot. You seem very melancholy. More so than a normal person who has witnessed a death.

*Paul rose his head to meet eyes with Carrera.*

Carrera: You seem as though you've witnessed multiple deaths.

Paul: Why are you like this, Carrera? You are a wonderful student, but your agenda seems...chaotic, yet aligned with our own.

Carrera: That's because it is.

Paul: Why can't you just say what it is you're trying to say?

Carrera: Because if I divulge my secrets so soon, you'll never go along with them. Though, you're asking me this even though you have a stand ability that allows you to virtually go back in time. Why haven't you figured it out after all this time?

Paul: ...

Carrera: I've been alive for quite a long time, Professor.

Paul: I hardly call 24 years a long time.

Carrera: Yes, 24 years is very short, but I'm not 24 now am I?

Paul: Wait, what are you talking about? What do you know that I don't, Carrera?

Carrera: I have no idea what you're talking about, professor. I do know that we all have a part to reprise.

Paul: ...

Carrera: Mm, your silence is golden. I'll see you some other time. For now, I have to find these people. There were a lot of clubs on campus so I think starting with the extra curricular clubs is a good start to find our users since many of them in the database are in them.

Paul: What club are you going to start with?

Carrera: It's been a while since I've flexed my boxing skills. I hear that they've recently received a breakout star, so I thought I should go and introduce myself.

Paul: You're a person of many talents.

Carrera: You would know. If you're done crying over our departed friend, you should go and check on the statue at the Peabody Museum.

Paul: Why?

Carrera: You're still asking those kinds of questions?

Paul: ....Oh! Right, I'll take Peter and check it out.

*Carrera leaves the room and takes a deep breath. She took a photo from out of her briefcase and stared at it for a moment.*

Carrera: It won't come to that.
