— Johnny Joestar.✦

The Steel Ball Run had been traversing the continent for weeks. Each stage left new wounds, new rivals… and very few opportunities to rest. As night fell, the competitors broke camp before continuing their journey at dawn.

Johnny never imagined that that race would cross his path with you again.

Too much time had passed since our last goodbye. And yet, there you were again. Just like the times before. As if fate refused to accept that our paths were meant to separate forever.

For a long time, she believed that going their separate ways was best for both of them. She believed it the first time… and the second time too. She always found a reason to convince herself it was the end. But somehow, the world always ended up bringing them back to the same place.

Johnny looked up at you. His expression remained calm, although the gleam in his eyes said something very different.

—I guess I've lost count of how many times we said goodbye.

A small smile appeared on her face.

—…And yet, here you are.
