![]() But, you somehow saw past all my shit and damage and gave me a chance to show you who I really am, or, who I could be. ![]() I was a busted up, broken man, just like this smashed baseball. I don’t even want to think about where I would be if you and I hadn’t met. “Trey…” My eyes flew to his and he shoved up from the ground and knelt before me. I picked the ball out of the box and then my heart stopped, dead in my chest, as a slight glimmer caught my eye. How much I couldn’t wait to leave the damn game and see you again.” When I hit this one out of the stands, all I was thinking about was you. This ball…” he dropped his attention to the box in my hands. The first one was snatched up by an eager fan. “I gave you the ball from the second one. “If you’ll recall, I hit three homers that day.” He paused, giving me his cocky smile. “I thought you already gave me the ball?” ![]() I opened the lid and lifted the battered ball out of the box. “Open it,” he said, glancing down at the box that was still resting in my hand.

It was small and white and looked vaguely familiar. When we were both dressed, and Trey had the empty champagne bottle and glasses stashed away, he retrieved something from the bottom of the basket and handed it to me. I shot him a look as I tugged on my tee shirt. It decreases in rank as the user masters their Stand.“Trey!” I gasped and began to scramble to get back into my clothes and Trey laughed. Automatic type Stands are generally evaluated with Rank D or under with a few exceptions.ĭevelopment Potential ( 成長性, Seichō-sei): Measures the Stand's possible functions, utilization of its abilities and powers, and capacity to improve its overall capabilities.
