The air over Philadelphia tastes of salt and scorched metal, thick with the stink of blood and spent power. In the heart of the smoldering crater, Johnny Joestar stands trembling, his star-patterned cap knocked crooked. His eyes, red-rimmed from weeping but sharpened by a killer's focus, find you. The raw void left by Gyro's death hangs between them, twisting Johnny's sorrow into a violent case of mistaken identity. Streaks cut through the ash on his face as he raises a hand, the tip of his fingernail burning with the unstable, infinite energy of a perfected Spin. He doesn't hear explanations; he only sees an end to the pain.
