TWO OF PENTACLES

Upright: Balance, Priorities, Adapting to Change

Reversed: Loss of Balance, Disorganized, Overwhelmed

"S ...Sh ... Sherry?" He started, small tears appearing at the corners of his eyes.

"Ask. Don't be shy." Encouraged the girl.

Polnareff wiped his tears and smiled. "If it's truly you, Sherry, what is our mother's maiden name?"

The planchette moved:
A-D-I-L-L-A--M-O-N-E-T

"What was your favorite doll or toy as a child, that you received from me?" Asked the French guy, still not convinced.

A-D-E-L-A-I-D-E--L-A--L-A-P-I-N-E

"What meant lapine?" Asked (Name), but Polnareff cried his eyes now. He was convinced. This was his sister.

M-Y--B-R-O-T-H-E-R--P-L-E-A-S-E--D-O--N-O-T--C-R-Y--Y-O-U--A-R-E--T-H-E --B-E-S-T--A-N-D--I--A-L-W-A-Y-S--L-O-V-E-D--Y-O-U

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask or tell your sister?"

"Je t'embrasse très fort, ma petite sœur. Je toujours t'aime. PUTAIN! Tu me manques..." (I hug you very tightly, my little sister. I always love you. FUCK! I miss you...) Polnareff said in full French, not caring if someone understood him or not. He was crying his heart out... He kept murmuring how he's sorry he wasn't there to protect her, how he tried and succeeded to avenge her but she wasn't there with him anymore. All that was said in French and aside from (Name) who knew exactly what he said, Sylvia was hugging her temporary teacher.

"Sylvia I beg you wipe my tears." (Name) requested as her view was obliterated by tears. Understanding the situation, she complied.

"I will let you go, Sherry... I... It felt nice hearing you again..."

The Moonhigh Queen summoned itself over the board and it shaped herself into a figure Jean Pierre Polnareff recognized instantly.

"(Name) chérie, your stand can offer me this water body that I'll use for something. Brother dearest, hug!" The water figure disappeared as it stepped out of the perimeter of the board, but the Frenchman felt the tight hug of the spirit.

He was smiling, and he could swore his sister had hugged him. The whole room smelled like roses, to which Polnareff commented that resembled Sherry's perfume.

"Ask if Avdol wants to speak next." Said Kakyoin.

"Sherry. Thank you very much for being here with us, but I request that you let Avdol speak as well."

(Name) cleared her throat, and spoke: "Muhammad Avdol... I request your presence now. But to prove that this is you... Jotaro, Polnareff, would you like to ask somethi-"

"How did you bring me to life and you died?" Asked Kakyoin, and the board moved.

I--S-O-L-D--M-Y-S-O-U-L--F-O-R--Y-O-U-R-S

"Why?"

P-R-O-P-H-E-C-Y

"What prophecy?"

(N-A-M-E)--S-A-V-E--H-E-R

"What about her? Why should I save her?"

No

"Should we save her?"

No

"Should I save myself?" Asked the (h/c) girl.

No

"Am I going to have to save her ass?" Asked Jotaro.

No

"Is my dad the threat?"

No

The blood in her veins froze. Raisa was right. "The third spirit... Is he DIO?"

The planchette didn't move. The men looked at her, their faces whiter than snow. The stand summoned itself again, against the will of its user. There was just a normal blob of water, no shape whatsoever.

Then every light in the room started vanishing, every light that there was. They pushed the planchette towards goodbye and they came back. Jotaro and Kakyoin still had their hands on the triangle, when (Name) took first the hands off.

"Guys we said goodbye."

She checked again the planchette... It was in their hands and moved to yes.

(Name) face palmed herself. The blob of water shot the lights again... All but the one on the table. It rose into a yellow flame big as Jotaro.

"My vessel..."

"GUYS USE THE GOODBYE!" The (h/c) girl shouted taking the bottle of blessed water. The boys pushed the triangle towards goodbye but it wasn't moving.

"Allow me to live."

She tried to drink the water to bless her soul, but the liquid wasn't obeying gravity.

"I'll make sure I'm taking that shell."

A pair of brownish red eyes appeared, staring into her soul.

"You have a gift the Joestars don't... And I will get that. No matter what."

Sylvia took one bottle of blessed water out of the fridge and splashed the flame. It retreated. The guys finally could say goodbye.

"We did it... We defeated DIO... Again... I hope." Said Kakyoin with a weird laugh. "Right, (Name)?"

No answer. The girl's nose started to bleed and then she started struggling to breathe. The (e/c) girl rolled her eyes and fell to the ground, hands around her neck. Sylvia was already calling an ambulance.

"(NAME)?!"
