Rainy Day Dream Away/fr

"This is Rainy Day Dream Away. See how you stumble perpetually? My Stand is not knocking you off balance each time. You are. Your own senses are defective, and you are desperately trying to regain your balance. For one brief moment you were off balance, and I locked that sensation in place."

- Vladimir Kocaqi

Rainy Day Dream Away (レイニーデイ・ドリームアウェイ) is the Stand of Vladimir Kocaqi featured in the light novel Purple Haze Feedback. It is bound to raindrops and can lock any person into the emotional state they find themselves in.

Appearance
This Stand is integrated with the moisture in the air and takes the form of light rain. On closer inspection, the raindrops bear a ghoulish tormented moaning face.

Emotion Lock
When someone has a thought within Rainy Day Dream Aways range, even for a moment, Vladimir can "lock" the sentiment and cause the target to feel it for as long as he chooses. When Vladimir locks this thought, the victim will only feel that thought; they even may suffer a delusion that seems to last a lifetime. Vladimir notably used his power to make his sister believe that she lived a long happy life, and disabled Fugo by making him feel perpetually off balance.

Rainy Day Dream Away uses the targets' own mental energy against them, thus no amount of distance from Kocaqi would ever free them. The only way to escape Rainy Day Dream Away's effect is to temporarily override the repeating sensation with a similar, greater sensation.
