            It seems like utterly coincidence that Josuke decides to walk by the pier today, but there’s something nagging at him that almost, almost sounds like Crazy Diamond, and who is he to argue with his Stand?  That’d just make him look crazy, anyway.
            Usually, he wouldn’t walk in the rain.  Too much hassle, and it always messes up his awesome hair, but the feeling is nagging, and he won’t be able to relax if he just ignores it like that.
            And Morioh might be ‘safe’, for now, but waiting for an unknown enemy around every corner has made him pretty observant, and so he notices the body lying over there.
            Just to be careful, he pulls out Crazy Diamond as he runs over.  After all, just because it’s over doesn’t mean that he’s never going to see another Stand User in his life who wants to kill him.  Stand Users are drawn together, and Jotaro-san had said something about multiple Arrows existing in one of his more recent calls…
            It takes him a minute to identify the man.  After all, he’s not wearing his signature hat, or any of his usual clothes, really.  That’s a wetsuit, and, well.  Jotaro’s a little unrecognizable without his hat anyway.  But that’s his nephew, waterlogged and looking half-drowned.
            Instantly he turns the man over, concerned.  “Jotaro-san?”
            There’s a shiver, but otherwise he doesn’t react.
            It’s more instinct than anything.  Crazy Diamond punches Jotaro, just to be safe, and that gets the man to stir a little more.
            “Jotaro-san?  Can you hear me?”
            The man groans, then pries open his eyes.  The glare’s there.
            “What happened?” he asks.
            “…was working,” the man mutters, frowning.  It seems he still has a headache.
            Josuke nearly offers to help him to his hotel, but instinct is now telling him that Jotaro-san shouldn’t be on his own.  It’s not like he wants his Mom to be hurting, either, but she’s seen enough of Jotaro-san so she doesn’t confuse him with Joseph, and it’s not like he can abandon any of his family in need.
            Particularly when Jotaro doesn’t seem like the type of person to need help in the first place, so when he does, well, it’s a little urgent.
            “Can you stand?  Or walk?” he asks quietly.  Instantly, Jotaro-san is struggling to his feet stubbornly.  Just in case, though, Josuke helps support him, and feels the weight alarmingly shift.  Jotaro’s still weak.
            Josuke sighs.  This won’t be easy.  He’d call a cab, but he doesn’t have enough money saved up since he bought that new game last week, and he’s pretty sure wetsuits don’t have places for wallets.  “Did you have some stuff around, or…”  It’s probably soaked through by now, but it’s better to grab it now than leave it laying around.
            There’s a short laugh that turns into a cough in response.  “In the boat.”
            At first, Josuke looks around for a boat, but realizes that since there isn’t one in sight, it’s probably still out there in the water.
            The water that looks choppy even in the bay, and has even darker skies lurking above.
            “Uh, okay.  We’re going home.”
            It’s a sign of Jotaro’s fatigue that he doesn’t argue.
