I know you guys are looking forward to seeing DeKurliss pick apart the crew psychologically (he certainly did a good job with Doppio). But, slight spoiler... This is DeKurliss' last appearance, and you'll understand why soon.

"Where did you even get that?," Atroe asked. "I was near Pucci's office when the alert came from this ward," Ryusei explained, "I was already covertly eavesdropping on his conversations with DeKurliss. Pucci seemed to place great value on the information inside, so I decided to see what the big deal was. I'm not sure what the contents refer to, but the context and history before the final entry clearly indicate that DIO was the one who originally wrote in it, not Pucci."

Back a few hours to when the alert came out, Pucci was grinning. "It seems it's begun. I'll go personally to question our agents in the punishment wing about what transpired." DeKurliss nodded. "The time is slowly approaching. Let's hope we don't run into too many obstacles." As Pucci left, Ryusei entered. "Ah, you're one of the new guards here, correct?," DeKurliss asked, "Father Pucci mentioned one had retired recently. Anyway, I'll just be off for a bit, there's some things I need to check on."

"Yeah, about that," Ryusei said, "What's with that diary?" "Just something a friend left him," DeKurliss said, "None of your business." Ryusei scoffed. "That's where you're wrong. You have no idea who I am, do you?" "Yes, you're Ryusei Ito," DeKurliss said, "One of the winners of the Steel Ball Run alongside your wife Asahi Ito, James Brown, Radames Avdol, Rudy, Sanji Matsumoto, Antoinette Dupont... Actually last I checked it was Antoinette Zeppeli. And there was one last one... Ah yes! It was Sadao Ku--"

He suddenly realized what Ryusei was getting at. "I understand you've been targeting my best friend's granddaughter," Ryusei said as he approached, "And you've been quite the nuisance with your own Stand." Time Judged All appeared. "It'll be easier to stop Pucci's plans if you're not around to warn him of any threats that may approach. You're pretty old, so doing this in a way that makes it seem like natural causes shouldn't be too difficult." DeKurliss freaked out as Ryusei's eyes narrowed. "Time Judged All!"

"And then I used my Stand's feathers to create an acupuncture-induced heart attack," Ryusei finished. Atroe chuckled nervously, and even Wes' normal stoicism seemed to break slightly as his eyes widened. After a few seconds, Atroe cleared her throat. "So, moving on... I take it that's when you took the diary?" Ryusei nodded. "Yeah, it seemed important at the time since Pucci was looking through it in a way that made it clear he was memorizing it."

"So now we need to make sure that the strange baby growing in the plants doesn't get to Pucci," Wes said, "It's clear that it's an important part of his plans. More to the point, it seems Pucci is planning to get information about what happened from D an G. Now we have two reasons to have him killed." "Two?," Ryusei asked. "Yeah, D an G sent his Stand to target Jolyne," Atroe explained, "We're not sure how it works, but it's clear its intention is to get people to lower their guard around it before killing them somehow."

Pucci was trying to calm down using his usual method of counting off prime numbers, getting all the way past four-hundred. But it wasn't stress he was feeling. It was exhilaration. He couldn't comprehend just what was happening in the punishment ward, yet it was clear that it all led back to his goal of achieving Heaven. Once he finished questioning D an G, all he had to do was retrieve DIO's bone, or whatever form it was taking.

He had spotted Guccio, and finished him off by using Whitesnake to insert a music CD into Gucci's head, letting it play music. His favorite church hymn, in fact. "I can barely contain the excitement. I just need to find out what happened with the bone... And D an G is the only one who can tell me right now." The scene was bizarre to say the least. Kenzo had been found inside a bucket in the execution chamber, Westwood was missing, as was a large chunk of the prisoners and the other guard, and Gucci was practically mangled yet still alive.

Well, he was until Pucci finished his listening. "Clearly this is work of Stand users. That invisible world we all reside in. DIO learned that hidden deep within all Stand users is the power to achieve Heaven, and he perfected the right formula for achieving it. I don't know yet what sort of phenomenon created the large plant remains, but I have a feeling that it must be tied to the bone." He got out his cell and called DeKurliss. What he heard on the other end surprised him, however.

'Hello, Green Dolphin Prison morgue.' "Hello, it's Father Enrico Pucci. Why do you have the cell phone of my friend DeKurliss?" 'Oh... Sorry, Father Pucci, but Mister DeKurliss was found dead in your office. We confirmed he suffered a serious heart attack.' Pucci closed his eyes in mourning. "I see. DeKurliss was getting on in years and his health was questionable. I assume my office was examined to make sure nothing was taken while it was unattended."

'Yeah, but it seems Guard Ito did remove one item to investigate. A diary.' Pucci's eyes widened. Unlike DeKurliss, who remembered too late about the connection between Ryusei Ito and the Kujo family, Pucci knew all too well thanks to the incident with Johngalli. And if Ryusei had the diary, it could easily fall into Jolyne's hands. Suddenly DeKurliss' death didn't seem like natural causes anymore. "I see. I'll ask him about it when I return."

He hurried over to where D an G was being carted onto the medical wagon. D an G was once a police officer himself, hence the reason why he was kept in the punishment ward, since most policemen don't last long in prison. However, when Pucci caught up to the van, he spotted Ryusei there, along with two other guards that were sporting familiar shades of hair. And one of them had her finger transformed into a gun. "Foo Fighters? Impossible!" Atroe turned around when she heard her Stand's name. "Well this just got complicated."
