Summary
Tooru walks around the thicket on the side of the Higashikata Estate. He extends his arm to a nest of hornets, who sting him, causing his skin to revert to rock. He then eats one of the hornets flying near his hand. Meanwhile, at the TG University Hospital, Rai Mamezuku tears away his clothes to reveal that one of Josuke Higashikata's soap bubbles had passed through his clothing and bored a hole in his chest. Tooru notes that this may be the 'soap bubbles that cannot be seen' which Mamezuku just mentioned, but is unfazed, reassuring himself that Josuke is still inside the calamity, also noting that Mamezuku has self-destructed.
At the Higashikata Estate, Joshu Higashikata cries to Yasuho that Jobin is lying on the floor covered in blood, Tsurugi's body is messed up, and he couldn't help Norisuke either. Joshu physically berates himself with several punches and slaps, claiming it is his fault for not being able to protect his father. Yasuho informs Joshu that the chaos occurring on the estate is due to a Stand attack from someone attempting to retrieve the New Locacaca. Yasuho pleads with Joshu to contact Josuke, which he denies, claiming that Josuke is most likely dead as well, and if Paisley Park couldn't find Josuke, then there's no way that he could. Joshu declares he will protect Yasuho, claiming that that is why he came to Yasuho.
Joshu notes that there are two Locacaca fruits and encourages Yasuho to eat one to heal her arm, to Tooru's surprise. Yasuho rejects, claiming they should not be ripe yet. Joshu rebuts this, stating that the larger of the two fruits looks ripe. He explains that the fruit will do an equivalent exchange, like what happened to Yoshikage Kira before he transformed into Josuke. He theorizes that after Yasuho consumes the Locacaca there should be enough remaining to heal Norisuke. Then they could use the smaller fruit to heal Tsurugi, and he'll no longer be a disgrace after saving his family. Joshu and Yasuho notice rustling in the adjacent thicket, which Joshu claims is merely the wind, but Yasuho is sure that it must be the user of the Stand attacking them. Watching them from the bushes, Tooru is surprised, but decides to allow Yasuho to eat the fruit as an experiment to see what would happen since it's an unknown fruit. He also states that Yasuho is still under the effects of Wonder of U.
Yasuho reiterates that the fruit will perform equivalent exchange with another person, which Joshu says he already understands, accepting the equivalent exchange. He claims that it may form an extreme bond between the two. He wonders whether they should both bite into the fruit, and what position they should be in, while pressing himself on top of her body. Yasuho worries that Joshu has lost his mind. Just then, Tooru rustles in the thicket, alerting Yasuho and Joshu to his presence. Yasuho theorizes that it may be Tooru watching them and that he is actually the Stand user. She notes he may have been waiting for someone to come to her aid. She hastily bites into the Locacaca, causing her leg and Joshu's to become merged at the ankle. Joshu panics as his arm begins to shrivel up and a new arm begins to grow out of Yasuho's severed arm instead. Tooru looks on with little emotion as Joshu claims he was not prepared, as Yasuho poses alongside Paisley Park with a determined look.
