As Jotaro looked at the empty space in front of him, the words which had just come out of the mouth of the stand couldn't help but travel through his mind over and over again.

Even so, Jotaro began running towards where his opponent might have escaped, as the entire world suddenly stopped around him.

But even so, although Jotaro had this great advantage that should have allowed him to catch up with his opponent, he didn't even see a trace of her, as if the latter had fully disappeared from Morioh.

"I only let my guard down for just a moment and it's as though she really disappeared from this world," mumbled Jotaro as he let time continue on it's course after around 1.5 seconds.

Although Jotaro could go further than this, he still preferred to have some time back up, just in case something happened which required him to stop time.

...

At this moment, Diana was running at a spend which she had never run at before.

With every single step, Diana's body slightly creaked and cracked, showing faint signs of damage, which was immediately healed by her vampiric capabilities.

Without warning, Diana suddenly slowed down, nearly to a crawl as the world around herself completely stopped.

Everything, from the tiniest speck of dust to the largest and most powerful animals on earth, as well as everything in between, stopped in their tracks, all of them except two.

Right now, Jotaro was searching for his opponent, unaware of the fact that the latter had managed to flee several hundred meters in a fraction of a moment.

'It's as I expected, he was waiting for me to approach him so that he could use Time Stop,' thought Diana whilst her body moved at a snail-like speed.

Of course, one could make the argument that Diana had, in fact, sped up, as she was now infinitely faster than all but one single being in reality.

Thinking about Jotaro's trick, Diana couldn't help but try to shake her head, sadly though, this Diana did not get to complete this motion, as Jotaro deactivated time-stop, causing her, as well as the shake of her head to suddenly speed up, causing it to become somewhat jerky.

Now that Jotaro had diactivated the time-stop, Diana was once again able to begin fleeing, moving through the dark alleys of Morioh at breakneck speed.

Hearing the footsteps of her daughter, which had seemingly just gotten home from school, a faint smile appeared on the face of Oshima Shigeko's.

"A building collapsed whilst I was making my way back from school," said Oshima Akira as she walked upstairs to her bedroom, ignoring her mother.

"She seems a little bit different today," mumbled Shigeko as she turned her attention back to the TV in front of her, although Shigeko appreciated her daughter, she didn't care about the latter enough to get off the couch and prepare the latter some food.

...

Touching her weak and fragile face, a faint smile appeared on Oshima Akira's face.

'I do look perfectly the same,' thought Oshima as she looked at the face in front of her, comparing it to the face in her memories.

After a few moments though, Oshima stopped looking in the mirror and threw herself onto her bed, just in time for her father to pass by her room and look inside, making sure that Oshima was alright.

Staring at the ceiling above her, thoughts swirled within Oshima's mind.

'Even without the weakening effects of the sun, Star Platinum is still slightly stronger than Tempo Symphony in a straight-up battle, unless I want to reveal my standability to them, It's best if I just fight Star Platinum using only raw strength,' thought Oshima, falling asleep a moment later under the eye of her father, who was carrying a basket of clothes ready for washing.

Looking at his daughter, which had managed to fall asleep not long after she arrived back from school, Oshima Kiyoshi shook his head.

Quickly, Kiyoshi placed the basket down and picked up a blanket from the floor of his daughter's room, throwing it on the latter so that she didn't catch a cold.

...

Looking at his grandson, who was actually a little bit injured, some surprise appeared on Joseph's face, of course, that surprise disappeared a moment later.

"Did you meet the killer," asked Joseph, looking at Jotaro with a rather casual look on his face.

"I'm not sure, but I am certain that I met someone related to DIO, maybe even his daughter," said Jotaro, causing's Joseph's eyes to widen.

"Describe her for me," said Joseph rather loudly, causing some distress to the invisible baby in his hands, which he then promptly placed on a nearby table.

...

"A vampire that doesn't die when exposed to the sun, since when does something like that exist?" mumbled Joseph as a rather ancient memory popped into his mind.

'The Red Stone of Aja was sent into space alongside Kars, it couldn't have caused this,' thought Joseph as he turned his attention to his old hand.

Looking at his hand, which had clearly lost the vast majority of the strength that it had ten years earlier, a slightly bitter expression appeared on Joseph's face.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed through Joseph's fist, illuminating it for a few brief moments.

Only a few moments after that, the golden light dissipated as Joseph quickly became unable to maintain it.

"I've really become useless," mumbled Joseph as he returned his attention back to his grandson, causing some surprise to appear on the latter's face as he looked at his grandfather.

'He seems quite a bit more energetic,' thought Jotaro as he looked at his grandfather, who had not dozed off once since he had begun talking.

A moment later, Jotaro began describing the fight between himself and this so-called daughter of DIO, causing some anger to flash through Joseph's eyes, especially when he heard how the latter described him.

'Have I become so old that you can disregard me so easily, to spare me without so much as a thought?' thought Joseph as he once again clenched his fist, Joestar strength filling it up.
