[penpoint]

Yeah, thanks.

I still remember everything, you know?

...Old man.

[oraorarush]

Twenty-eight isn't old. I don't know why you little brats think otherwise.

My roommate remembered everything, too. But his change was very different from yours.

[penpoint]

Because anything over 20 is old to a pre-teen, Jotaro.

Ten years older, you said, right?

[oraorarush]

And yet it's only been you and my daughter to call me that.

Yes. Which shouldn't be impossible, because he died ten years ago.

But when we talked, in his - world, I guess, he survived.

[penpoint]

Please, I would have called any older adult old man. You just happened to be the one I ran into. Very kind of you to watch after me, too, Jotaro-san.

But what you're telling me is much more interesting and suggests alternate versions of even our home world.

[oraorarush]

How lucky for me. I'm sure you would have done the same for me, sarcasm aside.

It's a little strange to think about

[penpoint]

Hey, you don't know that. I'd be an excellent babysitter.

[ No. He has absolutely punched a child. ]

Strange, yes, but feasible once arriving here. After all, there are people from different versions of Japan and yet -- we're here with them. Of course an alternate version of our own world is possible.

[oraorarush]

That's what I meant. Unless you're the one being sarcastic.

I know it's possible, but for him to remember it is strange. It wasn't as though he was replaced by a version of himself who lived - it was him. He remembers most of it, but only the things we talked about.

That's a little different than just an alternate version of our world.

[penpoint]

I'm not.

You can't even pretend this is the strangest thing you've encountered between here and home.

So he got older based on information sourced from a different timeline, and when he returned to his normal age - he remembered only what happened here.

That's what you're saying?

[oraorarush]

I've been turned into a child once by a Stand. So no, it's not the strangest.

Sourced from a timeline very similar to the one we lived. I think the only big difference is that I hadn't been to Morioh yet. He had no idea why I would be there.

[penpoint]

Maybe Josuke doesn't exist.

Or maybe he doesn't know about him.

There's certainly plenty of other reasons, too, I'm sure.

[ Small possibility, but a world without Josuke -- ]

[oraorarush]

Ah, Rohan. I'd hate to break your heart.

Josuke does exist. I just hadn't gotten that far in the inheritance paperwork yet.

[penpoint]

Can't believe you got my hopes up like that, Jotaro.

[ Hah, now he's giving you crap. ]

Cruel.

[oraorarush]

Be nice, that's my uncle.

[he thinks he's SO funny sometimes]

Now there's two timelines where you two can be the best of friends.

[penpoint]

Don't hurt yourself waiting for me to change my mind about him.

Beautiful, I hate it. Both in theory and in practice, to be honest. I bet we can go 0 for 2 on friendship.

[oraorarush]

Too troublesome when I know you won't.

If you don't go 0 for 2 I'll be surprised.

It's a shame Koichi has to put up with the both of you,

[penpoint]

I guarantee it.

Koichi is good-natured. Of course he puts up with it. Well, that and he's my friend.

[oraorarush]

Hah. I know. He's a good kid.

[penpoint]

He's heroic and interesting. I learned everything from him and because of him I'm the best I've ever been with my stand.

[oraorarush]

Everyone in Morioh is. Even you.

[of course he has to take a dig even when giving a compliment]

There's a lot more you could learn from him aside from that. And I'm not saying that to be an asshole - it's like you said, he's interesting. But it isn't the sort of thing you can learn from reading his life.

[penpoint]

What?

[ jotaro pls he can't deal ]

I can learn what I need from reading.

[oraorarush]

Did you suddenly forget how to read?

You can learn a lot more by just talking to him.

[penpoint]

Obviously not.

Why would I do that?

[ have you learned nothing ]

[oraorarush]

Humor me for a moment.

I'm sure we can both agree that Koichi is a dependable person. Right?

Is that something Heaven's Door would tell you?

[penpoint]

Yes, Heaven's Door would tell me that.

And if it didn't tell me directly, I could understand that from his experiences.
