    Summary

    Having graciously invited Joseph Joestar to his residency, Rohan Kishibe expected the technical notes on the lost art of Hamon. What he finds instead is JoJo’s oldest wound and brightest light: the breath of another man who refused to fade from the page, confronting the present with the residue of their past.

    Alternatively—★

    Heaven’s Door reveals the secrets of what’s written on a Joestar’s heart when it remembers Zeppeli.

    This is the story of a man who met his friend again through the words etched onto his soul… and of another who learned that even forgotten breaths can still stir the living and confront the secrets of an outlived prime.

    Summary

    Aoi groans at his statement. “Ugh, you’re never any fun!” Her stance tenders a moment later, and she wanders forwards a bit to catch his eyes and reach his ears. “Hey, how about you let yourself get a bit of fresh air for a few minutes at least?”

    Byakuya stares at the documents on his computer, the minuscule script that makes his vision pulse and the standard print that makes his thoughts cloud and for a moment he wants to chuck it through the nearest window. He inhales and exhales a resigned breath, recognizing his own defeat as he wrings his fingers and cracks his knuckles and stands up to dredge his winter clothing out of the closet.

    “Alright. I’m not going to be screwing around, though.”

     

    Byakuya is forced into a bunch of childish games. He winds up screwing around despite his own volition.
