☮ = waking them up after a nightmare

All the colors flying around are a blur as scenes that he’s never actually witnessed and could only imagine play through his mind. There’s lot’s of yelling, too, and pain. And suffering. He can’t actually feel anything since he’s asleep but he’s not aware of that and all he knows is the feelings he thinks are real (they’re very real and he dreams about this a lot). 

The scene changes and he thinks the worst of it all is over but then instead of them (Avdol, Iggy, Kakyoin) it’s them. It’s his wife and his six year old daughter Jolyne. It’s two of the few people he loves most in the world (not including his grandparents and mother) and all he can do is shout in desperation and watch in horror as they’re taken from him by that yellow demon—that fucking monster—that took away so many he cared for already.  

Suddenly this vision of horror is cut short by a familiar shout of his name as he’s shaken awake by none other than Joseph. He can’t hear what the old man is saying as his mind’s still bleary from sleep, but he can feel his heart beating fast and the thin layer of a cold sweat. He can already hardly remember the most vivid details but he knows it was horrible, knows it was something he must prevent from ever happening. 

That’s why he’s here, after all. He’s away from home investigating potentially dangerous Stand Users to make sure no one that dangerous ever threatens his family again. He’ll be gone for a few months, but it’s to keep them safe. Anything to keep them safe…

“Ah… Don’t worry about it, jiji. It was just a bad dream. I’m sorry for waking you. Don’t worry about me. Go back to sleep.”
