Jotaro was never scared, he was always calm even in life threatening situations. At least that was what people saw and assumed, they weren't wrong either since even the tall male himself believed those things. He was only on this bizarre adventure so his mom wouldn't die and that the world wouldn't be destroyed. Jotaro didn't care about what would happen right?Yet here he was at night, in a hotel room on his own.... absolutely terrified and frustrated about apparently nothing, well it was actually something but it seemed so stupid to the male.
When did the tears first start rolling down his cheeks even? When did the book he had been reading get dents in the cover because he was holding it so tightly? Hell Jotaro himself didn't even know. The tears just started all of a sudden after his first thought about death had entered the boy's mind, even more following the first one soon after. Jotaro had never felt so powerless then in that moment, not only did the tears not stop but the thoughts only kept on getting worse and worse and worse.
He could lose everyone with one bad move. Taking too long and his mother would be gone, Polnareff could be controlled and killed by Dio, his grandpa could get a heart attack, Avdol and Kakyoin sacrificing themselves to learn about something important about someone's stand and Iggy could choke on gum. Bad scenarios like this just completely took over Jotaro's mind, making the male close to almost panicking as he cried and almost ripped his book in fear. The worst was definitely the fear of his own death, what would even happen after he died? God was that terrifying to think about especially if he would leave people who cared for him behind.
The book about marine life he had been reading was absolutely ruined by now with how hard the teen had gripping it. Jotaro felt a small stab of pain in his hands too, probably a paper cut, but he didn't care. Heck the pain was even a small distraction before his mind returned to the fear of losing everyone he loved or even himself. What would even happen afterwards then? Fuck the male didn't know and it scared the shit out of him even more alongside making him more frustrated as to why these dumb thoughts wouldn't go away.
Without Jotaro having even realised Star platinum had manifested behind him, thinking there was a threat with how frantic the teen's breathing had become. Yet the stand wasn't able to see anything or anyone but it's user in a frustrated and terrified state for no apparent reason. Star platinum stared at the male who didn't even seem to notice it at all, the stand frowned knowing it couldn't do anything except get Jotaro things he might want or need. It's range was limited though and he couldn't go too far away from the room. Maybe Star could get someone to help? But only the group and other stand users could see it, heck if an enemy stand user attacked Jotaro now the teen would probably get injured before he could react.
Yet the stand decided to at least see if there was anyone walking by that could help with whatever the usually silent teen was having issues with. It almost seemed like Jotaro wasn't able to get any breath yet that wasn't the issue, Star platinum was able to deduct that in fact the male was almost hyperventilating if it wasn't for the frustration holding him back from a straight up panic attack. It worried the stand who phased part of its body through the door to see Joseph walking down the hall.
Joseph was making his way outside to take in some fresh air when he noticed Star Platinum phase through the door and even gesturing to come, it made the old man worried that something happened to his grandson after all stands rarely if ever did anything that their user didn't command. Kicking down the door Joseph only saw Jotaro, tears running down his cheeks while his hands were clutching a book to the point where it seemed that it was his only connection to the real world.
Carefully making his way closer Joseph noticed how scared the teen seemed to be, it was a weird sight to see yet his instincts told him this wasn't the issue of an enemy stand or something similar. This seemed to be some internal fear caused by certain thoughts or at least that's what the old man guessed as he sat down next to his grandson.
