I know I say this a lot, but I've really been looking forward to this chapter. I consider it a crowning example of what Pinkie Pie can do when push comes to shove, and just how hilarious her powers can be.

Upon learning Koichi was missing, the first thing Pinkie did was keep Yukako locked up so they'd at least have a chance of finding him without all of Morioh getting leveled. That accomplished, they then sought out Yuya, who was still in the hospital after the beating Josuke and Pinkie gave him. Thanks to his Stand Highway Star, Yuya's sense of smell had improved drastically. He was reluctant to help, but agreed after Josuke healed his injuries upfront. After taking a bit to admire his renewed beauty, and his three fangirls, he agreed to help.

Josuke and Pinkie took him out to where Koichi's bag was found. "We're sure its a new Stand user," Josuke said, "Somehow they got Koichi without any witnesses." "Listen, I'm willing to help you track him down," Yuya said, "But Highway Star's no good for fighting." "Yeah, we remember," Pinkie said, "No need to bring it up now." "I bring it up because we don't need to search very far," Yuya clarified, "The guy we're looking for is standing over there, and he's covered in Koichi's scent."

Josuke and Pinkie whirled around to see a young man a few years older than them with wild white hair and a white long coat. "Well, that was fast," Pinkie noted. The man started walking away. Josuke went over to grab him, but got a surprise when his mom popped out of nowhere, completely unconscious. "Mom!?," Josuke called out. Pinkie looked around, but the guy was nowhere to be found. "I didn't see what happened." "Me neither," Yuya admitted, "Somehow that guy swapped placed with Josuke's mother. I can still smell him nearby, though."

"Very interesting," came a voice from nowhere, "I wasn't expecting you to use Yuya's stronger sense of smell. But it works perfectly for my plan. I was intending to get caught eventually. You'll find your mother is unharmed. I never intended to keep her under the influence of my Stand long, just long enough to observe you... Josuke Higashikata." "You bastard!," Josuke said, "Come on out and face me!" "All in due time," the man's voice said, "Once my Stand Enigma has finished observing."

He chuckled. "You see Enigma works on the principle of fear. Everyone is terrified of something. About an hour ago I gained entry into your house, and set things up so Tomoko would show me her fear. Did you know when she gets frightened, she compulsively swallows? That's one's fear instinct, a habit they have when something truly terrifies them. And once I find that tell... Enigma can turn them into simple folded paper. Unfolding the paper releases them again. Earlier I was able to do the same thing to Koichi. He has a habit of blinking twice when frightened."

He smirked from his hiding place. "And you also showed me your habit, Josuke. You bite your lower lip when you're afraid. But Pinkie... What was that whole bit about your color literally draining?" "Oh, that's how people know I'm scared," Pinkie said, "Cuz I've trained myself not to show any signs of fear. Fear doesn't make a lot of people happy, after all." There was a pause. "That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of. But I'll find your real tell soon enough."

"How did your color just drain?," Yuya asked. "It's only happened after my Stand manifested," Pinkie clarified, "I can feel fear, but I don't like showing it." "Well, let's be cautious," Yuya said, "I'm smelling this guy coming from Josuke's mother's pocket." Josuke quickly started digging through his mom's pockets, thinking there might be something in there, but there was only a piece of paper. "Let me see that," Pinkie said, "Smile!" She opened the paper, her Stand active just in case of a trap. Sure enough, a gun popped out of the paper, but only created cartoon smoke that covered Pinkie in soot. She gave a sooty cough that got Josuke and Yuya giggling.

"Hey, stop that!," the man said, "I can't make them scared if they're laughing!" Pinkie grinned. "Exactly. You deal in fear, I deal in laughter." The man growled as the paper flew past a lamppost, the man reappearing. "Well, this is going to be difficult. Enigma has a pretty simple power. It can file things away on paper, perfectly preserved." He got out another piece of paper. "This for instance is some hot ramen preserved after buying it from the local restaurant. If I unfold it, it will still be hot and I can enjoy it anytime. But if the paper should rip..." He ripped the paper, causing the ramen bowl inside to break and the ramen to spill everywhere.

"I'm sorry, who are you again?," Pinkie said, "I find it odd that I've never seen you before." "I like to live in seclusion," the man said, "Just observing people's fears in secret. My name is Terunosuke Miyamoto." He produced another paper with Koichi's name written on it. "And this boy, I believe you know. He's alive, of course. My Stand is useless for attacking. But if something were to happen to the paper... Well, you just observed." Josuke immediately sent Crazy Diamond to attack, but Terunosuke just ducked behind the lamppost again, the paper flying in the path of an oncoming truck.

As Pinkie rushed for it, Josuke wound up biting his lip. "There it is," Terunosuke said, "Now I have you." Crazy Diamond tried to attack, but Josuke gasped as he saw himself getting sealed up when a blue humanoid covered in question marks appeared. Quickly he had his Stand grab a nearby pole. "It's useless," Terunosuke said, "No Stand power can stop this process." He then gasped when Crazy Diamond repaired the pole. "Y'know," Josuke said, "I'm willing to bet that wasn't Koichi Pinkie went to save. Why would you go killing off your hostage when you don't even know, or at least think you don't know, Pinkie's tell?"

He grinned. "I'm betting she knows it too. But she went for it anyway, because... What if we're wrong? There's no way we wouldn't, right? You may win this round, but there's still Pinkie to deal with. And as long as you can't accept that she's already shown her tell, you won't get her." As Josuke finished getting sealed, Terunosuke scoffed. "That's just her Stand hiding her tell. But I can't risk staying here. Her toon world is strong, stronger than I can handle." He turned to Yuya. "You were smart not to get involved. I already figured out your tell. You touch your chin when you get nervous."

Yuya gasped, as Terunosuke pulled a taxi out of another piece of paper. As he got in, he said, "Morioh Grand Hotel." The driver was confused at first, but drove anyway. "I don't think so," came Yuya's voice. 'Breaker, breaker one-niner,' came Pinkie's voice over the dispatch, 'Your passenger is holding two hostages. Will now proceed to apply pie maneuver.' Terunosuke blinked. "Doesn't she mean pit maneuver?" "I know what I said," came Pinkie's voice as she appeared running alongside the cab, Highway Star on the other side.

"That wasn't a smart move," Terunosuke noted. "Like I care!," Yuya said through Highway Star, "When I heard Josuke's words, I thought to myself, 'What if it was one of my girls that was held hostage?' And I realized I'd do the same exact thing, even if it was a trap!" He grabbed the paper holding Josuke. "And unlike Pinkie and Josuke, I can sniff out where they are, so false writing won't trick me!" He sniffed again. "What is that, blackberry?" Terunosuke whipped his head around to see Pinkie holding a pie. "She wouldn't..."

Pinkie grinned. "He don't know me very well, do he?" Terunosuke groaned as the pie hit his face. "I hate blackberry..." He growled and slammed the door on Highway Star. "Don't worry," Pinkie said over a two-way she pulled out, "You're tuned into my toon world, so Highway Star can move faster than normal." 'Got it,' Yuya said, 'I'm guessing anyone who opens the paper can release what's inside. That's why the gun from earlier popped out, even though it wasn't Terunosuke who opened it.'

Just then, the taxi stopped and Terunosuke disappeared inside it. Pinkie looked inside. "So he's folded up Josuke and Koichi in a bunch of traps." Smile started by grabbing a paper in the door as Yuya came over. Smile kept removing paper after paper, loosing all kinds of things, including fire and electricity somehow. The last thing, however, was a paper shredder, which wound up sucking in the two papers containing Josuke and Koichi. Yuya wound up touching his chin at this point, and Terunosuke appeared. "And there is it."

Enigma showed up and started turning Yuya into paper. "There's just you left," Terunosuke said to Pinkie. Pinkie just grinned. "You still don't get it, do you? I've already shown you my tell, but you refuse to believe it because it's too wacky. If you'd looked at Yuya's face, you'd know he wasn't really scared." Terunosuke gasped as Yuya reached into the shredder by extending Highway Star via its splitting power, now that it was thin enough to reach into the shredder and grab Josuke and Koichi. "No, don't open it!," Terunosuke called out.

But as he grabbed for the paper, Crazy Diamond punched him right in the mouth. "If it means saving those two," Yuya said, "Then I wouldn't mind losing." Meanwhile, Josuke and Koichi were set loose. "Man, Yuya," Josuke said, "Why'd you gotta upstage me like that?" He smiled as Pinkie hugged him. "Now, about you, Terunosuke." Terunosuke quickly grabbed Yuya's paper. "S-Stay back, or I'll..." But before he could even make a threat, Echoes used its Act 3 form to make the paper too heavy to even lift, much less rip.

"I really hate guys like you," Josuke said, "Guys who like to hide behind hostages. That sort of thing just pisses me off." Terunosuke dropped the paper and back up. "H-Hey now, let's not do anything hasty. I just like observing people when they're scared. Trying to master my Stand, you know? I just got a little carried away." "Pinkie?," Josuke said. Pinkie produced another pie and gave it a couple light tosses. "If I dood it, I get a whippin'." She looked at Terunosuke, her eyebrows wiggling. "I dood it!" She slammed the pie into Terunosuke's face.

"I thought I noticed something about you," Josuke said when Terunosuke winced at the incoming pie, "Did you know that when you're afraid you squint in one eye?" Sure enough, every time Terunosuke had been freaked out by Josuke or Pinkie, his eye had been squinting. Crazy Diamond made to punch Terunosuke. "And when you're really scared," Josuke said, "You squint with both eyes." Crazy Diamond slammed Terunosuke into the shredder and started merging him with the paper.

"DORARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARA!" "Now you'll be able to observe all you want," Josuke noted as Koichi released Yuya, "But you won't be able to touch." Terunosuke gasped as he realized he had been turned into a book. Josuke donated the book, titled "Enigma", to the Morioh Library, but never read the contents. It turned out the words were nonsense, but people who read it thought there was some hidden meaning to it. The library would gladly bring it if asked, but because it was one of a kind they wouldn't lend it out. Terunosuke's voice is still sometimes heard groaning from within the book, and people mistake it for the ghost of the library's founder.
