[ man, this one is a gut punch, and it keeps her quiet for a second before she sucks in a breath, like she's reliving the weight of a thick arm over her throat, straining, straining, straining.

It was... yeah. I'm gonna be fine. Heh. I mean. Did it once... I can stand to I guess. Watch it all over again. [ seeing it from this perspective... she doesn't know what to say. ] That guy was such a psycho...
Guard in super max... that's where they kept me after I was caught trying to escape. They're always jumped upโpowerwashing us with water in our cells for our "showers", conducting random checks in our bunks, feeding us moldy crap.
[ ugh ]
I needed to land myself there anyways, but I guess I just. Wasn't expecting his Stand to be that intense.
There was someone I was looking for in particular. Sometimes you gotta go to the underbelly to find 'em.
[ but she offers him a little smile after that ]
Having a Stand doesn't hurt... though if it gets hurt, then so do you. You mirror each other's pain, I think because it's connected to your soul in some way.
... I know my Stand appeared when I pricked my finger on somethin' my dad gave me. Didn't believe it at first, or know how to use it right away, either.

A fight in one's life, right from the start, it looks like, even the few moments before she came into contact with that crazed man. ]
Yeah, but you shouldn't have had to.
[ Because, well. The reason is obvious. ]
...What even was his problem, anyway?

Doesn't sound like a fun place to be.
[ Which is like, of course, is also a rather clear thing, but he felt it needed to be said. ]
So, is a Stand supposed to be kind of like a superpowered other side or something?
no subject
[ to keep it simple. ]
And... you're on the right track. It's kind of like a manifestation of your will. No two stands are alike, so I've heard.

[ There's a pause, as if in thought. ]
Sounds like it's pretty powerful. How does somebody get one? It just can appear randomly?

...Sounds like a lot of responsibility too.
If somebody got that sort of power and it was a lot more they can handle...well, I'm sure you've already seen that anyway.
[ He doesn't know how many times that might have been but the memory that just passed is something of a good indicator. ]
So, did you find this person you were searching for?
