i have a question. there's no right or wrong answer, i'm just wondering what people think.

suppose somebody came here, and outwardly they seemed like an average person. kept to themselves, didn't make trouble, maybe were a little bit weird but not, like, offensively so. you've never seen them do anything wrong. they seem pretty harmless. they're just a normal, fine, generally boring person.

then imagine somebody else said that they knew that person, and that all the niceness was just an act, and really that person was dangerous. really dangerous. and that the person hurt people in really bad ways. but imagine there was no proof of it, really, just that upset person's word against the boring person's.

how would you decide who to believe? would you only go by what you saw yourself, or only by what happened here and not where they came from, or what? would you believe anyone at all?

like i said, there's no right or wrong answer, i guess. i just wonder how you would make a decision either way, in a situation like that.

Hi, Rohan.

You probably guessed it was me, huh.

Only because we've talked about this. If he were to show up, you know I'm on your side. It's those who can't see Stands that might be harder to convince.

I know. That's why I kind of wanted to see what everyone would say, about a situation like this. How they would think about it.

It sounds like a lot of people wouldn't want to take a side either way. They'd give him a chance to prove himself as a good person. Which means somebody else would have to get hurt before they'd believe it.

If they're willing to sacrifice themselves, fine. But it won't be you again.

I couldn't just stand back and watch him hurt someone else!

...But I guess it would make sense, wouldn't it, for him to try to get rid of me first. Since I'm the proof of what he did.

If they make the choice to ignore warnings, I can't be sympathetic.

And you're right, he'll come after you first, probably. But we'll take care of it.

He'd just have to see your Stand for you to use it on him, right? Like how you made Koichi fly out of the alley?

Maybe we could use me as bait, and that would give you enough time to get him.

Yes, he'd only need to see it. And once it's activated, he can't move. He'll stop being a threat to us in an instant.

Bait, though?

Well, he knows you, doesn't he? So he definitely won't let you get close enough to use that unless his focus is on something else. So it makes sense to use me to draw him out, and then while he's focused on me, you can get him.

He knows me, and he knows that I know who he is. And he knows what I can do. But if you're not afraid to do it, I don't see why not, then.

[ He doesn't LOVE it... ]

I AM afraid to do it. But I still will, if that's what it takes.

Arnold and I spent all that time in the alley coming up with plans for what we'd do if he ever showed up, and it was a good thing we did. He grabbed me and tried to get me to turn around, right at the end. If we hadn't been ready for him, I would've been the one dragged to hell, and not him.

Don't do it if you don't want to. Although, it may be a non-issue.

It's good you weren't.

What do you mean, a non-issue? Why would it be?

He may never show up.

I hope he doesn't. He doesn't deserve a place like this. And he definitely doesn't deserve a second chance.

Some people will believe us, though, if it happens. That's really good to know.

He doesn't deserve it. And there's other stand users here who will not be an issue. They'll see it for what it is.

Hey...you remember both of his faces, right? So if he showed up with either one, you'd know him?

Yes, I know him. And no, he's not going to get away with anything if he shows up here.

Can you draw me pictures of both of them? Just so that I can keep them, and show somebody if I need to.

I can draw pictures of them both. Just keep them out of sight unless you need them. You shouldn't look at them every day.

I've got better things to look at every day than his horrible face. Like that vase you made for me.

This is just for if I need it. For emergencies.

Alright. Well, I'll draw a couple of sketches. It won't take me long.
