TW: Mentions of Death

===============

POV: Jotaro

It was only a day since I had sent the apology letter.

And I was already sent a response.

I'll be close to the private beach of your hotel.

Meet me there at 8 pm if you want to talk.

- [name] [last name]

I looked at the time.

It was about 9 in the morning.

Today was going to be a long day.

And so the waiting game began.

I tried to keep myself busy while waiting for the time to come around.

There really wasn't much for me to do in terms of work.

Yesterday Josuke and I killed the rats that Akira had stabbed with the Stand Arrow.

There weren't any enemy Stand users to fight against.

Things were calm.

There wasn't anything to do but wait.

And that's all I did.

The sun began to set and it was about 7:50, so I began to make my way down to the private beach.

As I was walking down I could see that [name] was already waiting.

They were in more casual clothes. A simple long sleeve button up shirt and some jeans.

Said jeans were rolled up to their knees as they stood in the ocean, their sandals dangling in one hand, a small towel over one shoulder.

They were looking out into the horizon, but there was a certain blank look in their eyes that I couldn't pin down.

They must have heard me because they began to speak.

"You know for a while I actually looked forward to meeting you."

Their voice was firm, steady.

But at the same time there was a sort of waver below it all.

Like one wrong word could cause them to crumble.

So, I simply stood and listened.

"I had heard so much good about you that I wanted to meet the same man they had met all those years ago."

. . .

Who told them about me?

"I guess none of us were prepared for how paranoid you were going to be. But then again people who are almost killed aren't really normal after the experience."

. . .

That must have been because of their uncle.

Either before or after trying to intercept the journey to Egypt.

I didn't know if it made a difference.

"But you probably know better than anyone in this town about Stands and the dangers that come with them."

They turned to face me.

"You know how dangerous some Stands can be in the hands of the wrong people, and unlike me you were blessed with a Stand that is kind."
