[ i heard of the news that kakyoin noriaki had died when dio told me during our fight, but
it was him who was saying it, so i didn't really believe it. i thought that it just had to be a trap to try and throw me off-guard.

wasn't something that could be done.
it was arranged so that he would be cremated,
then be transported back to his hometown.
when kakyoin noriaki died,
because he'd collided with a water tanker
most of the blood had flowed out of his body
and his skin had paled to a beautiful white. ]

[ 'jotaro'
'this is a little embarrassing, but'
'you're the first friend that i've ever had.'
'we'll return home once dio is defeated, but'
'since we ditched school for fifty days,
i guess you and i both
will be forced to repeat a year.' ]
[ 'but
if it's together with you
i think that might also be fun ... '
'ah, come to think of it,
you're a year above me, i guess.
it's too bad
that we won't be able to graduate together. ]
[ kakyoin always talked about the future ]
[ he was someone who didn't lie, so i believed everything he said. ]

[ -- hey kakyoin ]
[ we're going to school together, aren't we ]
[ we're gonna have lunch together, aren't we
we're gonna study together, aren't we ]
[ we're gonna talk about stuff like our hopes and dreams for the future, aren't we ]
[ i thought that i actually wanted to ask him those things ]

[ being called 'senpai' by someone the same age ]
[ it'd be really annoying ... ]
[ but if it was you ]
[ i also thought that it might be kind of fun ]
[ how did this happen, kakyoin, why
why aren't you telling me anything ]
[ this is painful to me ]
[ what should i do? answer me ]
joseph: ... stop it, jotaro
joseph: jotaro!
[ you always had the sort of expression where you looked like you always knew what i was thinking even if i didn't say anything ]

[ what is this, kakyoin, why ]
[ why aren't you saying anything to me ]
joseph: jotaro ...
[ ... ]
J: ... i got it, grandpa.
J: let's use my organs.
J: that's right, why didn't i think of it before
joseph: jotaro
J: hey, it's doable, right
J: it's just that his body has a hole in it.
joseph: jotaro!
