We have to wait one more chapter to encounter DIO once and for all, since the manga chapter this chapter is modeled after is a quick cut back to Holly, just to remind us what's at stake. With a few new faces showing up, of course.

Sadao grumbled at the sight of his beloved wife. Being a Stand user himself, he could see the vines practically strangling her at this point. His old friend Sanji were there too, observing the Stand's growth. "I encountered a similar incident to this in Morioh," he said. Sadao looked up at him. "You have?" "Remember that rogue Stand user I was telling you about?," Sanji explained, "Well, I found him, creating another snowstorm like the one he made eighteen years prior."

"And this is when you found that other person afflicted the same way as Holly?," Sadao asked. Sanji nodded. "Poor kid was suffering a severe fever. His mom was driving him to the hospital, but it was stuck in the snow. I offered to help her push it out. Inside I could see the kid, his Stand energy going haywire. Ultimately I was able to able to free the car and send it driving again using Reverse Rebirth." He chuckled. "I saw this look of admiration on the kid's face as they left. But I think they may have mistaken me for someone younger."

Sadao chuckled. "Well that pompadour certainly makes you seem younger. Still, I didn't think we'd run into each other again so soon." "When the Speedwagon Foundation heard about Holly's condition," Sanji said, "I was asked to be on the staff due to being a Stand user. That way I could track her progress more easily. But still, I hope your son and father-in-law hurry. If they don't kill DIO in the next twenty-four hours..." Sadao closed his eyes, knowing what was at stake. "Mister Kujo," another doctor said, "I've just been informed that your mother-in-law is coming to visit." "She must have also heard," Sadao realized.

Despite looking more aged since the 1930s, it was clear Suzi Q was aging as gracefully as her grandmother-in-law had. Not to mention she still had her vivacious attitude. "Oh, this shop looks good to have a bite in," she said when she saw a small soba restaurant. "Madam please," said Roses, the family's butler, "This establishment is for common businessmen. A lady like you shouldn't be stopping at such a common eating establishment." "Oh pish tosh," Suzi Q said, "You forget I was a maid before I was a lady. I'll eat where I like, thank you very much."

With them was another agent of the Speedwagon Foundation. "Roses, have you told Missus Joestar about the condition of her daughter?" Roses sighed. "I... Just haven't had the heart to. Missus Joestar thinks Holly is suffering from pneumonia." He trembled. "I've been employed with the Joestar family for thirty years now, and I've known the Young Miss Holly since she was in elementary school. To think that she would be dying all of a sudden..."

"We're doing all we can for her," the agent said, "But she only has a few more days. We're just lucky Matsumoto is a Stand user, or this condition would completely stump even our advanced medical technology. Mister Kujo is also a Stand user, so he's not under any delusions of what's going. The best we can do... Is hope Mister Joestar's journey is successful." "Is it true then?," Roses said with hope, "Will Holly be cured if DIO is defeated?"

The agent nodded. "But that's a big if. It took everything Jonathan had to push DIO to the edge of death a hundred years ago. And from what I've heard, the monster is even stronger now. Holly is susceptible to DIO's evil energy because of her Joestar blood, and her soul is too gentle to control her Stand. That's why it's killing her." "This must be hurting Sadao more than anyone else," Roses said, "Normal people like us can only see a woman sick in bed. But he can see the spread of the infection firsthand."

The agent lowered his eyes. "Suzi Q may not be a Stand user, but she will be able to see Death's shadow over her daughter. She needs to be told soon." "Come on now Roses," Suzi Q called out, "Don't just stand there talking. Grab something for yourself." As Roses started trying to tell Suzi Q what was happening, she kept cutting him off with her curiosity, eventually taping a Yakuza thug. "Hey!," the man said, "Who gave you permission to tape, me you old hag!?"

He grabbed Suzi Q, only be violently kicked in the gut by Roses, forcing him to let go and throwing him backwards. "I'll thank you to take your hands off Madam," Roses said politely, in spite of his recent spat of violence. 'I may not be a Stand user like Mister Kujo or know Hamon like Mister Joestar, but I can handle a simple thug thanks to being a trained fighter.' As the three of them got back in the car, Roses lamented that he still wasn't able to tell Suzi Q about her daughter.

As the car started to get near the Kujo residence, Suzi Q's expression turned grim. "Roses... You've been trying to tell me something this whole time. But I already know... My daughter's life is in danger, isn't it?" Roses was shocked. "You... Already knew? But when?" "When I called just over a month ago," Suzi Q explained, "She said it was a just a cold, but a mother knows these things. And Sadao's concert in New York was suddenly canceled right around that time."

Roses and the agent looked at her. "Sadao only ever cancels his tours when something's wrong with his family," Suzi Q noted, "And Jotaro is traveling with Joseph on what he claims is a business trip, so that must mean it's something to do with Holly. I haven't been told everything, everyone's trying to keep me out of the loop... But I can tell..." The agent sighed. "I'm sorry to say... Your daughter only has a few more days to live. Mister Joestar and his grandson are traveling with some others to confront the source in Egypt. The last we heard from them was in Cairo."

Suzi Q nodded as the car pulled into the Kujo residence. Sadao perked up his head when he saw his mother-in-law, the sound also walking up Holly. "Mama...," she said smiling. "Yes, Holly," Suzi Q said, "I'm here." 'All we can do know is believe,' Sadao thought, 'Holly may be dying from this. But Jotaro... My son... He's only gotten stronger. DIO, whoever you are, you are going to regret not leaving my family alone. My son will see to that!'
