   " So, I've heard a lot about you. " JoJo said 

   " Listen, and listen well. Santviento here, the so-called Pillerman, uses a mask to turn men into vampires. He does that to make them stronger, and then he devours them. Destroy him! Take him out while there's still time! "

   " Don't do it, JoJo! He's dangerous! " Speedwagon shouted. 

I saw JoJo reach his hand out towards Santviento. He touched his nose and moved away from Santviento.

   " You're it. "

He had a child-like smile on his face and he didn't look worried at all. I felt like smacking my head with my hand but I didn't. Santviento did not look amused, not one bit and it made me worried for JoJo's sake.

   " I get it. You're one of those strong, silent types, right? Ever thought about modeling? You've got a nice look here. Come on. Let's see what you got. Give me a smile. "

I looked at Von Stroheim and Speedwagon as JoJo continued to talk. They looked like I did. Worried and confused at what JoJo did. 

   " Work with me here. Make love to the camera. "

He pointed his fingers up like he was holding a camera.

   " Ready? Set? Give me happy. Now be silly. Show us those pearly whites. "

He started bouncing around in weird poses and the urge to smack him was increasing. 

   " JoJo, stop this nonsense immediately! Don't provoke him. Please, JoJo, Santviento is dangerous. " Speedwagon shouted at him. 

   " Yeah, I know you think he's dangerous, but I have a theory that maybe he's not so bad. Let me test something out here. "

   ' You're basing all of this on a theory!? '

   " Are you insane!? If he's not evil then why did he kill all of my men? " Von Stroheim shouted.

I only sat on the floor and held my head in my hands as they argued. It was ridiculous. I agreed with Von Stroheim for once during this. They were still human and they were killed in seconds. This is not something to test a theory on. 

   " Anyway, I'm not here to fight, and I'm feeling generous. Come on. loosen up, big guy. "

Santviento wasn't entertained anymore and brushed by JoJo, hitting his shoulder. 

   " That was rude. Who the hell does this guy think he is? "

He tried to kick Santviento's leg but Santviento's leg bent over his while tearing the cloth on JoJo's pants at the ankle. I knew that if JoJo had no Hamon his foot would have been disconnected from his leg. 

   " What was that!? That was the weirdest thing I ever felt! "

Santviento kept walking. It was only Stroheim, Speedwagon, JoJo, Santviento, and I left in the room. We watched as he dismantled an entire weapon, like an expert, and put it back together. 

   ' He's learning everything in seconds. '

Santviento didn't seem to like the big UV  lights that were on in the corner. JoJo walked up to him and tapped his back with a helmet. 

   " Hey, big guy, you wanna learn a new joke? Just stop me if you've heard this one before. "

   " Stop! "

   " JoJo get away! "

   ' Oh no. '

He started messing with Santviento's ear. I stood up from behind Speedwagon and got repaired to run as I saw something move near Sanviento's ribcage.
