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

Ten years older, you said, right?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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 -- ]

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

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

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

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

Cruel.

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.

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.

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,

I guarantee it.

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

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

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.

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.

What?

[ jotaro pls he can't deal ]

I can learn what I need from reading.

Did you suddenly forget how to read?

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

Obviously not.

Why would I do that?

[ have you learned nothing ]

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?

Yes, Heaven's Door would tell me that.

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

From his experiences. Not your own.

That's the point I'm trying to make. You can read everything about him, and I'm sure he'll let you, but you have to experience a lot of it in person to really understand it. Before the incident at the tailors I would have said he was dependable based solely on what I've heard; after, I know he is because I saw it with my own eyes.

That's what I mean when I say you can learn a lot more about him by just speaking to him. You'll learn things about him that not even he realizes yet.

I think you've overestimated how much I enjoy engaging with other people.

I learn plenty via experience. Heaven's Door takes a significant load off of it, though.
