Stone Ocean - Chapter 37
Summary
In order to save Ermes, F.F. attacks Marilyn Manson, but the Stand takes no damage and continues to attack Ermes. Marilyn Manson extracts Ermes's liver, determining that, if sold to the black market, it could pay off the rest of the debt. The Stand explains that because Ermes admitted to cheating in her heart, it will seek out and collect the debt she owes; the Stand cannot be stopped until it collects the debt.
Jolyne picks up the baseball and challenges Marilyn Manson to another bet: one thousand consecutive catches for everything that was taken from Ermes. Ermes tries to offer the five thousand dollars she has hidden away, but Marilyn Manson, knowing that it actually belongs to McQueen, rejects it.
Jolyne and F.F. begin throwing the ball. F.F. expresses that she feels this is impossible, as the two are running out of recess time. However, Jolyne explains that their goal isn't to win the bet, but to defeat Miraschon, who has entered the prison to distance herself. The two enter the prison in search of Miraschon, continuing to throw the ball to each other.
As they walk through the showers, Miraschon turns off all the lights mid-throw, causing F.F. to panic. Jolyne calms her down, telling her that if she doesn't move it will probably hit her. The ball hits her in the face, allowing her to use her ability to catch it. Jolyne yells at F.F. to turn on the lights, and to throw the ball toward the sound of her voice.
