Honestly, I'm curious--but in the opposite direction. Although it's safe to say that a vast majority of Passione's Stand users awakened to their Stands because of the arrow, I'm certain there must have been some who awakened naturally.
I'm afraid I don't have nearly enough experience to know for certain. From the sound of things, people like Polnareff and myself would be in the minimum--but as it stands there's no way to be sure without accurate statistics to measure.
It's too bad. Back home, this is something I would have the data to investigate but little time to research. Here, I have nothing but time but very little data.
It's an fascinating discussion, at least. [A pause, then:] I've never really met someone interested in this sort of thing.
It's unfortunate, but I suppose we just have to work with the limited data we have.
I'm in a similar situation. This city is the first I've had any time to really consider different Stands as well as the concept of them in general. The subject's a fascinating one to me, but you're the first that's been as interested as I am.
[...except probably Carlos. Carlos is odd, bless his scientific heart.]
Most people are satisfied with "how" and don't worry so much about the "why". Which isn't a bad way of thinking, in our way of life.
[Don't get him wrong. Fugo cares a great deal for his mafia friends. But, bless their hearts, none of them (with the exception of Giorno) are or were all that interested in nerd talk.]
Regardless. I look forward to working with you on investigating the subject.
