"So what's your first impression of my Stand?" you ask the butler while sweeping up the broken bottle bits. The floating mandelbulb in the room fades away.
"It's...interesting. Unnerving, if you're going for a fear factor." His eyes dart over to the handprints you left indented in the wall. "Lord DIO will help you develop its potential, whatever it is."
Terrence bags the broken glass, checking for any missed pieces. "Have you named it?"
"Yes. It's called Jenova..."
"Like Jehovah?"
"Somewhat, partially, yeah." You bite your tongue to stop from explaining the lore of a game that's not even out yet. Now with a Stand of your own, you can see the metal, pinkish outline of Terrence's Atum looming behind him. It might be poking into your head right now, asking yes/no questions, though for what you're not sure.
"Whatever that name is from, it sounds unique." Terrence gathers the trash and admires how fast he mopped the water up. "Enjoy your morning." He does the trick where he floats up into the air, holding his cleaning supplies, as he leaves; you can see his Stand hoisting him up, but it still looks cool.
You get your own things into a small backpack and head downstairs to meet Michal. You find her in the kitchen court, listening to something her brother is saying. Both look as they do in what you remember of the book's illustrations, if slightly younger and in looser-fitting, more conservative garb. You notice Michal's initial-adorned necklace, which almost covers up the scarring underneath that left her mute.
Absalom, the older brother, stands up in front of Michal and stares you down.
"Hello. You're the one who Lord DIO assigned with Michal on a mission. In the city." His accented English is far less notable than the distaste in his voice. Right, these two work as a team...You're realizing, impromptu, he may not like the idea of his little sister exposed to potential danger with only an unseasoned Stand user to accompany...into the city where they got injured and traumatized in a train accident.
Even without the context, you'd understand his hesitation, given that:
>You were the older/eldest sibling in your family.>You were the middle sister and had to deal with a hierarchy of overprotectiveness.>You were the youngest sibling and got fawned over.>You were the only child, but the present members of your family doted on you as you imagine an older sibling would.
