"Why were you so keen on knowing about my stand?"
     Jotaro hums, taking one final drag of his cigarette before dropping it on the dirt below, snuffing it out with his shoe. You frown at the newfound litter and his lack of response.
     "There have been several stand related incidents throughout the state," He says as he picks up the dirty butt. "Based on past locations, looks like the user could pass through the city. Had to make sure you weren't 'em."
     You watched him dump the remnant of his cigarette in a trash can next to the table. Your mouth opened but no sound came out. You had so many questions but didn't know which one to ask first.
     "...How do you know all that?" You ask slowly, your mind still trying to sift through the questions.
    "Speedwagon Foundation."
     "The what foundation?"
     "Don't worry about it," He adjusts his jacket, obviously getting annoyed at the barrage of questions. "Just keep your eyes out. Stand users attract other stand users. If you think you came in contact with one just let me know."
    Jotaro turns around and starts heading towards the exit.
     "Wait!" You call out. "What's the users ability?"
"Don't know. Something that can start fires."
     You watch dumbfounded as Jotaro waves his hand before disappearing beyond the tree line. You huffed, walking over to the picnic table and sit down. You had no idea how to process what little vague information you were given. 'What does he mean by stand related incidents? Is someone attacking people? What's the foundation he's with, is he just here working for them or is he studying too?'
    You put your book bag on the table, looking at it blankly while you think to yourself. 'And what does he mean stand users are attracted to each other? In what way? If in a romantic sense that's definitely true on my end—'
     You slam your hand on the bag and whip it open, cutting your thoughts short and stopping your mind from thinking anymore.
     'Stop thinking about bullshit, (y/n),' Sighing you pinch the bridge of your nose and pull out supplies from your bag. The park was quiet and nice enough to get some work done, you would get more answers from thinking about your biology assignment than thinking about you and Jotaro's odd conversation.

—

     You stared off into a forest of pine, the smell of smoke wafting up into your nose. It was hot, uncomfortably so, the sound of a fire popping behind you makes you whip your head around.
     Turning your body around fully, you take a few steps back to take in the sight of your childhood home being consumed by an ever growing flame. Wide eyed, you can hear the faint screams from within the roaring blaze. From within the inferno, you start to make out a dark figure emerge, it walks toward you at a snails pace. Your heart starts to thump in your chest, you try to turn and run but you can't, no matter how hard you try you are stuck in place.
     "Who are you?!" You shout at the figure.
     The shadow being stops, but doesn't reply. Instead it lifts an arm, pointing a finger at you. Suddenly, your entire body catches on fire.

     You wake up with a jolt, Vera nudging you with worry in her eyes. You sit up and groaned, looking around you realized you had fallen asleep. Looking down at your homework, now dimly light by the setting sun, you felt...unsettled. You had grown used to your reoccurring nightmare, but this time it was different. Why was this one different?
     You shake your head and look at your stand, who now held up your book and papers. She looks up at the sky then at you, insinuating it was time to go home. You give her a weak smile and a quiet 'thanks' before taking them from her hands and putting them in your backpack. Slinging it over your shoulder you stand up, Vera disappears.
     As you make your way out of the park, you wear you can still smell the stench of charred skin.
