Collapse, but Stand users

[Simulation begins, character template: Enrique Pucci]

[Lottery item detected: DIO's skull, has been released to the world]

You were born, in our old friend, Twilight Street.

Your parents were unable to raise you and abandoned you shortly after your birth at the entrance of a nursing home on Twilight Street.

You were lucky to be found by the priest at the nursing home, who adopted you.

"Sigh, this world..." the priest sighed as he picked you up, a card falling from your body.

The priest picked up the card and found words written on it.

"Enrique Pucci? Is that your name?" the priest said to you.

......

At four years old, because you were too mature, you became the leader of the children at the sanatorium.

While other children were playing in the mud, you went into the priest's room to read his books on religion and theology.

The priest is very interested in your behavior and has decided to groom you as his successor.

When the other children found out about this, they started calling you Father Pucci.

......

[At six years old, you asked to go out with the priest to buy food for the nursing home. On your way out, you found an abandoned baby girl at the nursing home's entrance.]

The priest, already used to such sights, picked up the abandoned baby girl.

"This time there isn't even a name?"

The priest sighed, pondered for a moment, and then said, "How about I call you Aponia?"

Miraculously, after the priest gave the baby girl a name, she smiled.

"It seems you really like this name."

The priest turned to Pucci and said, "Pucci, do you know why I save these abandoned babies?"

“As the practitioners of God’s will, priests have a duty to save suffering beings.”

The priest nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

"I hope you can live up to this promise. Now, I'm giving you a task: to take good care of her."

As he spoke, the priest handed Aponia, which he was holding, to Pucci.

"I understand."

[Afterwards, because of Aponia, your trip was canceled.]

But you didn't really want to go out; you just wanted to know how a priest who adopted so many children could make a living on Twilight Street.

[Twilight Street won't show mercy just because you're a good person.]

You couldn't help but ask the priest why.

The priest smiled and patted your head gently, saying, "I will tell you the reason when you become a real priest."

You nodded, and in the days that followed, you strived to become a priest.

But you're still young, and the nursing home has enough staff. All you can do each day is help with cooking and taking care of the children.

Aponia, the newest member of the sanatorium, is constantly distressed; she only calms down when you or the priest hold her.

The priest is responsible for the livelihood of the entire sanatorium, so the task of taking care of Aponia falls to you.

[At ten years old, you've cared for Aponia for four years. In Twilight Street, four years old is already an age when one needs to be independent.]

But Aponia still sticks to you every day, wanting you to be with her no matter what she does.

Because they adopted too many children, the nursing home didn't have enough rooms, so you and Aponia are living together.

Every night, Aponia wakes up in a panic, then holds you and cries.

"What's wrong? Having another nightmare?" Pucci asked, gently stroking Aponia's head in his arms.

“Um… I saw someone die again,” Aponia said, her voice trembling with tears.

"It's okay, dreams are always the opposite of reality, everyone is living a good life."

"……Really?"

"Of course it's true, go to sleep."

"Can I hold you while I sleep?"

"of course can."

[Aponia held you and fell asleep again]

[Regarding Aponia's nightmares, you know it's her innate talent—the ability to see the fates of others.]

Based on the experience of the last simulation, Aponia is most likely unable to foresee her own fate.

You thought to yourself, "The reason he's clinging to me is probably because he can't see my death."

At ten years old, the priest brought home another abandoned baby.

You asked her name.

"I'm thinking of calling her Xier, what do you think?"

"Not bad, it's a nice-sounding name."

"Haha, it sounds nice, right? Then I'll leave the child to you."

"...Yes, Father."

Although it might be a case of the same name, are you sure this Seele is the one chosen to become the Herrscher of Death?

Fate has taken a slight turn, yet you still haven't obtained a Stand, and the whereabouts of Dio's skull, which was placed in the world, are unknown.

But arrows can only be obtained by chance; there's no use in being anxious now.

Stay calm and continue striving to become a priest.
