Chapter 13

Date: May 5, 1990

Location: Joestar Family Home, London

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across David's room as night enveloped the house in a cozy blanket of darkness. After a day filled with exploration and laughter, David lay in his bed, excitement coursing through him. He could still hear the faint echo of his flute playing in his mind, a reminder of the joy he had found in his new life as David Joestar. Yet, a feeling lingered in his chest, a mixture of curiosity and concern for his new family that he couldn't quite shake.

As the hours passed and the house settled into silence, David felt a tug at his heart. He wondered about his parents — Jonathan and Emily — and what their lives had been like before adopting him. Sleep eluded him, and the more he thought about them, the more determined he became to learn everything he could.

David activated his order quietly, feeling a rush of energy envelop him: My eyes can see anything that is unnatural or disease to the human body. The familiar sensation washed over him as his vision sharpened, the room around him dimming slightly as he focused on the essence of life itself.

Steeling himself, he slipped out of bed, careful not to make a sound. He tiptoed down the hallway, the moonlight illuminating the way as he approached the door to Jonathan and Emily's room. The handle turned quietly beneath his fingers, and he gently pushed the door open, peering inside.

The room was softly lit by a bedside lamp, and there lay his new parents, peacefully asleep. Jonathan's strong form sprawled comfortably under the covers, while Emily nestled close to him, a serene expression on her face. David felt a surge of warmth at the sight; they looked so content, so at home.

His heart raced as he approached their bedside, activating his new vision. Everything around him sharpened, colors intensified, and he could see the faint auras surrounding them, glowing gently in the night. His focus zeroed in on Emily, curiosity pulling him closer.

As he scanned her body, the colors shifted, revealing a faint shadow that hovered over her — a mark of something unnatural. David's heart sank as he deciphered the shadows and colors: there was an ailment present, a condition that lingered within her, preventing her from having children of her own.

The realization hit him like a bolt of lightning. It was no wonder they had come to the orphanage to adopt. His heart ached at the thought that Emily's dreams of motherhood had been stifled by her health. But in him, they had found a way to fulfill that longing, a chance to build a family.

David's breath caught in his throat as he took in the implications of his discovery. The Joestars had chosen him not merely out of a desire to adopt, but out of necessity. He felt a swell of compassion for Emily and a deep-seated resolve to be the son they hoped for.

With a heavy heart and a newfound understanding, David stepped back from the bed, the order's effect fading as he exited the room. The weight of his parents' struggles settled on his shoulders, but it also ignited a fire within him. He wanted to make them proud, to be the son who brought them happiness and filled their home with laughter.

As he returned to his room, he couldn't help but wonder how he could help them. Perhaps he could learn more about Emily's condition, or find a way to use his newfound powers for good. The thought of being part of a family with challenges fueled his determination.

Settling back into bed, David closed his eyes, letting the silence of the night envelop him. He would prove to Jonathan and Emily that they had made the right choice in adopting him. They had opened their hearts to him, and he would do everything in his power to bring them joy and support.

The stars twinkled outside his window, and David drifted off to sleep, dreaming of adventures yet to come — adventures that would shape not just his future but the future of the Joestar family.

End of chap.
