At the mansion

He looks at himself in the mirror with admiration. He holds his chin thinking to himself before he speaks.

"Enya, there's something I'd like to ask you... What does it mean to live?" His voice is loud and confident. It echoes in his mansion making all who reside there quiver in both fear and adoration.

"Lord DIO, to live... it means to obtain what one desires. To put it simply, that is all it means to live. People want money, they want fame, they want food, they want love, they want a lover... happiness."

"But when they attempt to obtain what they desire, there is always a battle is there not, Enya?"

"Indeed."

"So then B/f, Enya, if they lose the battle and fail to obtain what they desire, they feel frustration and a sense of failure. They are hurt. And they feel fear when faced with the next battle. I believe that conquering fear is what it means to live. The one who will stand at the top of the world is the one who feels no fear whatsoever. Do you understand?" He turns to walk up the stairs while his flesh-budded servants kneel to his retreating form, not daring to defy his orders.

"Have the stand users bring her to me at once. B/f,  from what you told me and what I saw displayed on the crystal ball, our dear Y/n will be of the utmost help to our plan to take over the world. The sooner she's at my side, the sooner I'll have what I want, and the sooner I'll dominate the world for my own. Don't disappoint me you two. Send Strength at once. Don't keep me waiting..."

He walks up the steps, furthering himself deeper into the darkness.

"Yes... my Lord."

Back to the ocean

You jolt awake, the tension and aching of your body making its presence well know even after waking up. You didn't have a nightmare, but you felt as if you heard an unsettling conversation that sent shivers up and down your spine.

When you open your eyes, the very first sight you see is... a crotch? You flush and because you don't feel Anne on your stomach anymore, you quickly sit up. You look around and see it was now nighttime, everyone on the boat was asleep. The stars in the sky were bright and they reflected beautifully against the slow moving water.

You scoot your way to the end of the boat that was closer to you and you sit with your legs tucked in towards your chest, and you wrap your arms around them. You look at the sky and your thoughts sway over to B/f.

"Y/n, I'll always be with you. Remember that... I'll miss you... so so much... Whenever you need guidance, look up at the sky and know that I'm always thinking of you, and I'll do the same. The stars don't control your fate, you do. Believe in yourself and never lose hope."

'I hope you're okay. Are you eating properly? Are you getting enough sleep? Are you being treated like a human being? Or is DIO making your life miserable solely for sending me away without his permission? Are you suffering because of me? Do you have nightmares like me? Or are you living one?'

You were grateful and glad to know she was still alive, but you didn't know what the conditions to that were. B/f had a flesh bud in her head for sure by now. Her every thought and action was being controlled by DIO himself. She said before that she didn't blame you or hate you for bringing her to this universe against her will, but could she still say the same thing even now and truly mean it? You begin to softly cry to yourself.
