As they made their way to the Joestar house, South called out, "Mom, my friends are staying the night! Make lots of food!"

Mrs. Joestar smiled warmly at the boys. "Of course, dear. I'll whip up something special."

North approached Mrs. Joestar and explained, "We're working on a school project tonight. We might be up late."

Mrs. Joestar nodded understandingly. "Just make sure you all get some rest."

The three boys headed to South's room, where they began to piece together the events of the day. Leo held up the arrow tip. "This is the same arrow I was hit with," he said, examining it closely.

"So, all Stand users are created by this arrow?" North suggested, his mind racing with possibilities.

"But the big question is," South interjected, "who's creating the Stand users?"

"All points lead to the mayor," Leo said, frowning. "But it's going to be hard to get close to him. We'll have to wait until summer vacation to investigate further."

"I remember that woman now," Leo continued, his eyes narrowing. "I was playing a gig at the shopping district. She was with the mayor."

South nodded. "There are other Stand users looking for the arrow tips. We have to be careful, guys."

"Agreed," North said. "I'll hide the arrow tip tomorrow. For now, we need to lay low and wait until summer break."

As they discussed their plan, Mrs. Joestar called them down for dinner. The smell of homemade cooking filled the air, and for a moment, they allowed themselves to enjoy the comfort of home.

### Dinner at the Joestars

The table was filled with an array of delicious dishes. Mrs. Joestar had outdone herself. The boys ate heartily, the comfort of the food momentarily easing the tension of their situation.

"So, what kind of school project are you boys working on?" Mrs. Joestar asked, her eyes twinkling with curiosity.

"Oh, it's a history project," Leo said quickly, glancing at North and South for support. "We're researching local legends and folklore."

"Sounds fascinating," Mrs. Joestar replied. "Just make sure you all get some sleep. You need to be sharp for school."

After dinner, the boys retreated back to South's room. They needed to finalize their plans and ensure they were all on the same page.

### Finalizing the Plan

"We need to be extra cautious," North said, his voice low. "If the mayor is involved, he has resources we can't even imagine."

"We'll stick to our original plan," South agreed. "Lay low, hide the arrow tip, and gather more information over the next few weeks."

"Once summer vacation starts, we can investigate more freely," Leo added. "In the meantime, we need to stay vigilant. That woman and her Stand, Python, won't be the last we encounter."

The boys nodded in agreement. They knew the road ahead would be dangerous, but they were determined to uncover the truth.

### The Night Watch

That night, they took turns keeping watch, ensuring no one would sneak up on them. The tension was palpable, but they found solace in their camaraderie. They were in this together, and together, they would face whatever challenges lay ahead.

As the first light of dawn crept through the window, North finally hid the arrow tip in a secure place. With the immediate threat seemingly at bay, the boys went about their day, attending school and maintaining their cover.

But in the back of their minds, they knew the real battle was just beginning. They would have to wait until summer break to delve deeper into the mystery surrounding the mayor and the Stand users. Until then, they would gather information, prepare, and most importantly, stay safe.
