Running down the street to see his friends, Josuke had just left Sayori after dropping her off at her home. As he ran he passed by a large, odd-looking stone.

"Hey, Angelo!" he said as he ran past it.

A muffled scream could be heard as Josuke ran past it. After a few minutes, he had finally reached the café where his friends were sitting.

He greeted them as he approached, "Hey! Koichi! Okuyasu!"

"Hey, Josuke!" said Koichi. "See, Okuyasu, he did show up."

Okuyasu smiled brightly. "Y-Yeah! Well… I didn't doubt it for a second."

Josuke slowed his pace as he finally took a seat at their table, breathing heavily.

"Sorry I was late. I was walking home with Sayori."

Okuyasu grumbled, a light blush dusting his cheeks, "You know, you could have… brought her with you… or something…"

Koichi and Josuke smiled, understanding what he meant.

"So, how was your club meeting?" Koichi asked.

"It was fun! We got to share poems that we had written yesterday. You guys want to see?"

"Sure!"

Josuke took out his poem and handed it to Koichi. Once he had read it over, he handed it to Okuyasu.

"That was pretty good!" Koichi said. "It was about Crazy Diamond right?"

"Yeah. I thought that writing about it would be easy for me and the others would think that it's all metaphorical and stuff." Josuke stated.

Meanwhile, Okuyasu was now holding the poem sideways and squinting.

"I don't get it," he said handing it back to Josuke. "I guess it's a good thing I didn't join your club."

"It's fine, Okuyasu," said Josuke reassuringly.

"So, who else is in the club?" Koichi asked.

"Well, there's Sayori, then there's Yuri, and Natsuki, and of course there's the club president, Monika."

"Monika? Isn't she really popular? It thought she was part of the Debate Club."

"Well, she told me that she wasn't fond of all the politics surrounding the major clubs. I guess she was just inspired to start her own club." After talking about the club, Josuke remembered what he had wanted to talk to them about. "Also, guys, something strange happened in the club."

"Huh? Strange how?" Koichi asked.

"Well, there were some pretty normal things that happened, like Natsuki loaned me a manga volume."

"What manga?"

"Parfait Girls. Do you know if it's any good?"

Koichi cringed slightly. "W-Well… I don't really know much, but it's more targeted towards girls, but I know that there isn't really anything important that happens."

Josuke sighed, "Ah well. Anyway, before that, Yuri gave me a book."

"What's strange about all this? This just sounds like these people are being nice to you. What book is it anyway?" Okuyasu piped up.

"It's A Portrait of Markov, but-… You okay?"

Okuyasu gritted his teeth. "That's a really creepy book. I haven't read many books, but that book is one that I have. It is REALLY weird."

Josuke began to sweat nervously. "Ah… But that wasn't the strange part. The strange part was when I first looked at it, the cover said Enigma."

Koichi's eyes widened as he straightened up. "R-really?! You mean that book guy's Stand?!"

"Yeah, and then the pages opened up by itself and he called my name. But when I looked at it again the book was back to normal."

"STAND USER!" Okuyasu yelled, banging the table and startling his friends. "I knew it! This whole thing had seemed suspicious. I mean, I know that Rohan did play a part in it but-"

"Wait," Josuke began. "What do you mean you know Rohan played a part in it?"

"Uh…"

Okuyasu didn't really know what to do. He didn't know how Josuke would react after learning that he was turned into a book.

Koichi sighed, "Josuke, Rohan told us that he had used Heaven's Door on you to make you believe that Sayori is your childhood friend. We only found out yesterday."

"What?! Did he really do that? What for and- wait. You're telling me that Sayori and I aren't childhood friends?" Josuke asked with a hint of sadness.

"Well, you had never mentioned her before yesterday. We were told that he just picked some random girl to get you involved in her life. He said it was revenge for burning down his house."

"I can understand getting revenge, but that's too messed up! What about her? What if I tell her that I was never friends with her before? This is just… Gah!"

"I'm sorry, Josuke. But I don't think you've ever even spoken with her before Rohan messed with you guys."

"Are you going to quit the club?" Okuyasu asked, sounding hopeful.

"… No. I might know that we're not childhood friends, but she probably doesn't. It would be really messed up to just stop showing up or hanging out with them. Plus, I've become good friends with them. There's no reason to stop just because I wasn't friends with them as kids."

"… I'm sorry too, Josuke. But was there anything else strange that happened?"

Josuke sat in silence, elbows on the table and his hands in his hair, messing it up slightly. After a few seconds, he wiped his eyes and sat up.

"Y-Yeah. When the book opened and said my name, I brought out Crazy Diamond and the whole club was looking at me." His friends looked inquisitively at him. "I played it off like I had seen a spider, but I don't know if any of them could see it. Before they went back to what they were doing, Yuri and Monika were looking at me the longest."

"Maybe they're both Stand users. Or maybe the others are and they're just trying to hide it." Okuyasu said.

"I don't think Sayori is a Stand user, but I'm not one-hundred percent sure about Natsuki. I spent some time with her today and I noticed a bruise on the back of her neck. I thought it might be from being shot by the Arrow. I then healed her because she didn't show any hostility, and I thought that it might trigger her to attack. She was face to face with Crazy Diamond and she didn't even acknowledge it."

Koichi looked concerned. "If she isn't a Stand user and she wasn't hit by the arrow, how did she get that bruise?"

Josuke thought about this for a moment. "I… I don't know. I didn't think about it being anything other than the arrow at the time. I had only just noticed her bruise a minute after I freaked out and activated my Stand."

"So, the ones who could be Stand users are Yuri and Monika," Okuyasu stated, figuring out all of what Josuke had just said.

"Yeah…" Josuke began. "I'll try to spend some time with each of them and get to know them better. Once I've done that, I'll probably be able to determine if they are Stand users or not."

"That sounds good," said Koichi. "Do you think that we should join the club to help you with this? Should we tell Rohan or even Jotaro about this?"

"No, I think that if there are Stand users in that club, they might feel threatened from having two more Stand users joining the club. We have no idea what abilities they have anyway. And don't get Rohan in just yet, I can probably do this by myself. Plus, Jotaro is working. This is a school club with a few possible Stand users. He only came to Morioh because there were dangerous people with Stands."

Okuyasu and Koichi looked at him with concern. "Well, if you need any help while you're in the club, just call us." Koichi said.

"Yeah. We can just hang out here until your club is over. This café is pretty close to school." Okuyasu added.

Josuke smiled, "Thanks guys. You're the best."

They all smiled at that and decided that they should be getting home since it was late.

Alright. I need to come up with a plan for how I'll do this. But first I need to write another poem.
