Between the Kira case and all of the troublesome Stand Users popping up all over Morioh, it was only a matter of time before the Speedwagon Foundation sent backup, whether Jotaro agreed to it or not.

He just wasn’t expecting that they would send over you, though.

In all regards, you were the right fit for the job. You had a Stand of your own and could handle yourself quite well in a fight. You were intelligent and were one of the survivors of that journey to Egypt 10 years ago.

…

…he can hardly believe it’s been that long.

The two of you were just high school students back then, both being thrust into a world of danger because of your abilities. He was still grateful to you to this day for going along with him to help save his mother, even though you could have easily said no. The two of you grew close during those 50 days and remained close friends after that. Even after the two of you graduated and went your separate ways to focus on your respective careers, you still remained in contact, though visits grew very few and far between as the years progressed.

You weren’t able to attend his wedding, yet you were one of the first to hear about his divorce.

Always on his mind despite his sparse replies.

…

He never figured out what he felt about you, did he?

Jotaro stood in front of your hotel room. It’s been about a week since you arrived and you had invited him over to discuss the case and catch up.

He knocks.
