"I wish for you not to return to Morioh for the time being..." Your father spoke with a heavy heart.

"Why the sudden demand? You see something, didn't you?" You accuse your father not with a harsh tone.

More like in curious tone, actually. You really didn't hope to stay in Africa so suddenly after all, you wish to know exactly why.

"Don't sugarcoat it, just tell me, father." You demanded.

"...If only you weren't born with a Stand..."

"Koichi's got Echoes, though. With that thing, he can still call for help even if he's being gagged, right?" Okuyasu spoke as both he and Josuke observe Morioh map.

"..." Josuke eyes look distant, as if he's not really there.

"Right? Josuke?" Okuyasu grabbed his attention, still munching on his snacks.

"Huh? Oh, but Echoes range is about 50 meters. He might've been taken to a place where no one lives nearby." Josuke said said after some time.

"There are tons of places like that." 

"Look, someone call you." Okuyasu perceived the Higashikata's household phone beeping.

"Right, let me get that." Josuke stands up and reach the phone.

"Hello? This is Higashikata." Josuke greeted the caller.

Though it doesn't sounds like you though...

How he hope that it was actually you calling.

"Hello? Is this Koichi? Hey! It's me, Josuke!" He put his personal thoughts aside and focuses on Koichi, who have been kidnapped.

"Koichi, where are you?" Josuke asked again.

"What? I can hear the sound of waves..." The boy thought out loud.

"Oh, they cut the call. No matter, let's see..." Josuke went back onto the map.

Somewhere close to the sea...

"The sounds of waves...A pay phone..." Josuke observe the map much closely than before.

"The place...gotta be here!"

"If it's a place near the sea with a lot of uninhabited houses, it has to be this area with all the villas." Josuke said as he look around the privileged area.

"But there are like, dozens of villas around here." Okuyasu stated the challenge.

"We can't tell which one it is."

"We have to find the pay phone! Koichi called us from one." Josuke now searching for the mentioned facility.

"Let's find the pay phone first and then look around at the houses near it." Your childhood friend nod to himself.

"Yeah" Okuyasu tagged along.

Just when they reach the pay phone Josuke mentioned for some time, a sudden shake and strange noises can be heard from a slight distance. 

"Josuke!"

"I heard it. That was the sound of something breaking." 

"Hey, I think it's that house over there." Okuyasu points towards a Stand invested house near the sea.
