Emporio details in narration the story of [[Green Dolphin Street Prison]], in which he's always lived in hiding. At an obscure point in time, a strange murky power has begun manifesting in the prison: the Stand [[Whitesnake]] which can put people to sleep and then digest them with an acid, as well as stealing their "minds". Its real identity is unknown and why it keeps stealing minds and Stand abilities is unknown. It has recently stolen [[Jotaro]]'s mind and his ability [[Star Platinum]]. However, his daughter [[Jolyne]] has decided to stay in prison and she believes that she can save her father by retrieving the [[DISC]]s that Whitesnake stole from Jotaro. Expressing his hope in Jolyne's confidence, Emporio awaits the moment Jolyne is freed from her solitary confinement to begin their plan. He also explains that he must contact another prisoner, [[Ermes Costello]].
At the same time, we see a man mopping the prison floor. Seeing Ermes laying on a bed, the man sneakily approaches his hand and slips it inside of her dress, taking some money from her. Ermes, feeling the hand, suddenly awakens and calls the thief out, but he's already disappeared. Angry at the janitor, Ermes notices that she's on IV and
She then notices the sticker stuck to her palm again and picks it up, but a number of
Ermes is finally discharged from the infirmary. She asks the doctor what is the janitor's name, but the guards order her to move on. She then tries to ask other inmates about the janitor but nobody knows who she's talking about. Ermes goes to the toilets to examine the DISC. Watching closer, she sees glimpses of a hiding place, and notably sees from the point of view of the janitor that the Stand [[Whitesnake]] has approached the man named [[Thunder McQueen|McQueen]]. Baffled, Ermes quickly extracts the DISC out of her cheek, the DISC falling into the toilets. Suddenly, someone calls Ermes out from behind. She turns and sees the janitor, [[Thunder McQueen]], who comments that he's never been followed by a woman. Ermes angrily asks what is up about him, but to her dismay, McQueen begins to cry, lamenting the fact that he can't remember what has happened and calling himself out for it. Ermes asks him if he's alright, prompting anoter mood switch. McQueen feels overjoyed at the idea that a woman could care for his well-being and feels happy but he rapidly switches back to dejection and decides to hang himself with his belt. Taken aback, Ermes then feels herself being lifted up as protusions equipped with propellers sprout from her neck and lift her in the air.
Line 33:
The DISC's reflection displays in full what Whitesnake has told McQueen. Whitesnake admires the lack of animosity of McQueen since, it says, animosity will always encounter something stronger that will destroy it. However, McQueen possesses a particular kind of evil that makes it so he doesn't make trouble but thinks he's a victim. Thus, Whitesnake has bestowed him an ability so that he eliminates an enemy for him, which happens to be Ermes. Ermes feels herself being choked by an unknown force, but quickly understands that McQueen was somehow responsible by hanging himself. Suffocating, Ermes quickly tosses a sticker onto the belt, then takes the sticker out of the duplicate to make the two belt fuse. Damaged, the belt rips from McQueen's weight. Thus, he and Ermes are both saved.
Angry, Ermes orders McQueen to stay away from her although the latter is simply confused that Ermes would take an interest in her. Still angry, Ermes asks him why he would hang himself all of a sudden. McQueen explains that it was an urge that has taken him over and promises to treasure his life. McQueen seems ignorant about it and says he's indebted to her. Embarrassed, Ermes takes her gaze away for a short moment, but when she opens her eyes again, she sees McQueen drowning himself in a
Ermes pushes her way through the crowd in the medical ward, wanting to go back to her cell. At the same time, she asks herself if there could be other people with similar abilities inside of the prison. Distracted, Ermes then meets [[Emporio Alnino|Emporio]] while descending a staircase and is naturally perplexed to see a boy playing with a baseball, muttering about [[Stand]] abilities drawing towards one another and about finding her. Emporio then begins to explains the situation to Ermes, notably that the true enemy is [[Whitesnake]], who is responsible for the appearance of the DISCs, which can contain either a Stand ability or the memories of the person from whom it's been extracted. Ermes presents the DISC she's taken from McQueen, and Emporio becomes interested in McQueen's Stand DISC, hoping that they could learn something from it. Their discussion is interrupted when Ermes's wrist begin bleeding and she then feels a shock. Ermes realises she's still under [[Highway to Hell|McQueen's ability]]'s spell and that McQueen is trying to electrocute himself.
