"She must be in denial, then. She is clinging to the false notion of her father's life because he is her only loved one," Nero says. "Tragic," Kan says. "She's attacking us because we're Stand Users and the last Stand Users she met...no, the last person she met besides Woodstock killed her father," Johana says. "She thinks she's protecting him by keeping us out. But he's already dead." Johana jumps out of the car and walks over to the house. Well, I say house, but in truth that term no longer applies. The house has transformed into a swirling tornado of bricks. "Camellia!" Johana shouts, "We need to talk!" A flurry of bricks rain down on the car, Nero grabbing Kan and Kelly and jumping out just in time to avoid getting hit. "My car!" Kelly yells. "Camellia, I promise that we aren't here to hurt your father," Johana says. "We can't hurt him. No one can, because he's dead." More bricks rain down; Twisted Sister appears behind Johana and swats them away. "Camellia, I know you don't want to accept that your father is dead because it hurts to even think about, but you have to. Trust me, you have to," Johana says. Some of the bricks peel away to reveal Camellia, standing atop some bricks in the center of the tornado. "You're lying!" she shouts. "Woodstock said that if I was good, and fought anyone who tried to hurt Daddy, Daddy would get better." "Woodstock lied to you! There is nothing he can do to bring your father back! Your father is gone!" Another brick crashes down. This time, Johana's Stand doesn't block it in time. The brick hits Johana in the chest and she hears her ribs crack. Still, she stands her ground. "Woodstock sent us here to hurt you, to kill you for his stupid game, but I'm not going to do that!" Johana shouts. "I refuse to hurt you, no matter how much you hurt me!" More bricks fly at Johana, too many and too fast for Twisted Sister to stop. Brick after brick strikes Johana, each one hurting more than the last. Johana falls to her knees. One brick flies faster than the others, headed straight for Johana's skull. Right before it hits her it stops. The brick hovers in the air for a moment before falling to the ground. All of the other bricks fly back, stitching together and reforming the Floyd residence. All except one. Johana looks down at the brick lying before her. It has a drawing of Camellia holding hands with Kan and Johana. Nero and Kan run over to Johana; Kelly stays with his crushed car. "Are you okay?" Kan asks. "I'll be fine, I heal quick," Johana mutters. Nero helps her to her feet, supporting her with his shoulder. "Take me to the door, I need to talk to Camellia." Kan and Nero carry Johana to the front door of the Floyd residence. They open the door to find Camellia sitting on the front steps, crying. "I'm sorry I hurt you," she says. "I've been hurt worse," Johana says. "My father's really gone, isn't he?" "I'm afraid so." "Which means Woodstock lied to me." "Camellia, that bracelet Woodstock put around your ankle, it's more than a fashion accessory," Johana says. "It's a tracker that leads bad people to you." Camellia reaches down and tries to pull it off. "It won't come off, Woodstock saw to that," Johana says. "There are a lot of bad people coming for you, people that won't be as merciful as me and my friends." "What should I do?" Camellia says. "Let us protect you. Let us make sure that you make it out of this game alive." Johana extends a hand for Camellia. She takes it.
