Hierophant green slowly got closer to the young woman. Her eyes were closed and what look like tear marks dripped from her eyes and down her cheeks, long and feathery eyelashes framed the damaged and distorted eyes of the scared and blinded young woman. "Leave now!," the woman demanded again, "I know you want to hurt me like the others wanted to!" "How do you know?," Kakyoin asked through his stand. The young woman stood from the old bed that she had been sitting on. The knife in her hand was gripped tight, "I saw it." "You saw it? You mean with your special ability?," Kakyoin inquired, "You can see into the future."
The young woman charged at Hierophant, the stand moved to avoid. The knife knicked Hierophant's cheek. So she did have future sight, this was a test for that. She even avoided being caught by the stand's arms. "If you can see into the future, then look to see if my words are true. If you don't believe me, then I will leave.," Kakyoin spoke softly, "But please. Look to see if I am telling the truth."

The young woman closed her damaged eyes, as if focusing on the power she had. Kakyoin waited for an answer as he motioned Jotaro to let the stand go and come back outside. The delinquent teen did as his friend asked. He saw through hierophant that the young woman dropped her knife and returned to her place on the bed. Iggy was snoring beside her. "What did you see?," Kakyoin asked through his stand as the young woman's jellyfish like stand came to assist its master.
"You are telling the truth, Noriaki Kakyoin.," the young woman replied, "I hope you don't mind that I used my power to learn your name." "It's fine.," Kakyoin spoke, "But we need you to get out of this house. The city is going to knock it down with you in it. It's not safe." The young woman was hesitant, "This house belonged to my grandmother. After she died, it fell into disrepair. My parents stayed here before the city forced her out. I came looking for them here, but I found nobody." "You have not tried to look for them with your power?," the violet eyed teen asked the woman. "I have. But, all I see is a cemetery. Meaning, they must have died in an accident.," the young woman replied.

Hierophant's hand was extanded to her, "You can come with us. I'm sure Mr. Joestar won't mind another stand user around." "Stand?," the young woman asked as she took the stand's hand, "Oh, what you call this power." The stand beckoned her to follow, but she was hesitant. "What's wrong?," Kakyoin inquired. "The stairs, the three top steps will collapse if a human weight is on it. I can't go down them.," the young woman replied, "That's another reason I can't leave."
"How about we catch you? My stand, hierophant can help.," the Japanese teen suggested, she seemed a little more open to that. "Are all of you like me? This dog?," the young woman asked. "Yes. We are all stand users.," Kakyoin replied, he motioned for Jotaro to get under the window, "My friend, Jotaro is ready to catch you." Jotaro and the others watched the window as a young woman came from the darkness of the house. She opened the window further and sat on the edge as she held Iggy. The veil on her head matched her stand's. Her clothing was akin to a jellyfish as it was a puffed short skirt with puffy shirts underneath, ribbons streamed off of it. Her top was puffy too and she had what looked to be a corset like accessory.

Jotaro caught the young woman as she fell from the window, hierophant green slowed her fall. The delinquent teen placed her down on her feet. Her eyes were again closed. Her stand was floating beside her. Her head moved like she was looking at the faces of the ones who had gotten her out of the house. As soon as she faced Kakyoin, she took his hand and scooted closer to him. "Mister Joestar, do you think that it would be okay to let her travel with us?," Kakyoin asked, "She has the power to see the future."
"I don't see why not, you did say that her family is no longer with us?," Joseph asked before turning to the young woman, "I am Joseph Joestar. Would you like to come with us? It would be nice to have another strong stand user with us." "Joseph Joestar.," the young woman Echoed back, "Names?" "My name is muhammad Avdol.," the dark skinned man spoke. "Jean Pierre Polnareff.," the Frenchman introduced, "But you can call me Jean. The dog is named Iggy and the one who caught you is named Jotaro Kujo, he is Joseph's grandson."
