Umm, Dad?

Hey, dad, snap out of it!

............................Dido...
You gotta get up! Didn't ya ever listen to what Dusty said? About staying determined or something? You gotta get going! All that they could teach me is how to be 'merciful' and monster history! They're out of lessons!
... I know my lessons aren't actually that important to you... go... play, flirt with boys, whatever it is that's normal for kids your age. Just...
Ew, boys. You know what? Everybody's Fool.
Wait what-

Tell me. I know you can't lie when my Stand's active. Why are you letting a story bother you so much?
........
Don't break your own rule about honesty now.
Silence isn't lyi-....
See, even you know it is. Now, answers.
... I thought you'd piece it together. Shard. That's our family. The family that was sent to defeat-... I can't even say her name.
Well, yeah, okay. But that's like, your ancestors or some crap, isn't it? This is the present, Dad.

.... Not my ancestors.
...Huh?
...... That's all I want to say.
W-wait, so you're-
Yes.

........................................

... Dad?
Hm?
I don't wanna seem like a complete jerk, but... that's still the past you know? It's not like you're stuck there.
... It feels like I am.
Well if that were true then how am I here??
...P-Pardon?
If you were really stuck back there then you never went through all those adventures! You never met Dingo Brando, King, the "other jumpers" not in your book, Crystal, Ruby, the Crystal Gems, Shovel Knight, or all those monsters underground! You'd never even know Castle of Glass, or Dusty, or me! 
Dido, I-
God, you're really selfish if you want to stay in a time without your own daughter!



....
She stormed out right after she said that.
I don't think she realizes that I don't want to be stuck in the past. That's why I lied. About my name, my origin... my reason for jumping in the first place. Sort of. I still want to have stories of adventures, but not to tell to anyone. There's no one left to tell.
...
Just to forget, you know?
But I can't. But it's so, so hard to. Even the mention of glass makes me think about her.
... It's terrifying and... something else entirely at the same time.

Still, maybe... maybe Dido has a point. Maybe I really am missing everything she mentioned because I'm

... I feel like I'm getting too, how to say, overemotional.
Needed to get some thoughts straight for once.

... What's tomorrow's lesson going to be?
