Summary
The chapter begins with Erina leading Lisa Lisa, Jorge, and Straizo to a secret basement, and showing them the severed head of Jonathan Joestar. Erina explains that she had kept the head for fifteen years since the day of his death. Jorge wonders how the head still looks like the way it was since he died, instead of just a skull and a few pieces of flesh. Even though she was only an infant, surprisingly, Lisa Lisa still had memories of the horrible person who was with them when the two were in the coffin; Dio Brando. Erina asks Penelope and Straizo to go upstairs to explain her story. Erina had sat on her chair silently before she could explain. Growing impatient, Lisa Lisa asks if Erina saved Dio in the explosion. Erina continued to stay silent. Lisa Lisa explains how she went back to the Joestar Manor to learn more about the history of Jonathan and Dio, and asked people of that town about them.

Erina breaks her silence, scolding Lisa Lisa emotionally, explaining that a sixteen-year old girl shouldn't speak about love the way she understands. She begins to calm her tone again and begins her story. She describes Dio to be a cruel and vile man, and everything that he did to her and Jonathan. She even explains how he even murdered Jonathan's dog, Danny. But later on become friends, as of Dio's plan, and later on backstabbing Jonathan. She begins to explain the story of what happened while they were in the box. She says that Jonathan had asked her to save baby Elizabeth before he died. She climbed into the box with the infant in her arms. She heard Dio cry as he claimed he could give Jonathan eternal life. She closes the lid, and locks it. The ship explodes, flinging the box into the sea, causing the infant to cry. Erina tried not to scream, she tried to sing to the infant to calm her down. Thinking that they landed on water, Erina opens the box, when an arm suddenly grabs her and a voice calls her name. It was Dio Brando, who had stolen the body of Jonathan Joestar. He grabs the infant, using her as a hostage, and offers to spare her if Erina gives him her blood. Unable to refuse, Erina offers her arm to Dio. He returns the child and drinks a large amount of blood from Erina, almost causing her to pass out.

She closes the lid, claiming that Dio had spent the night in pain. She had heard him splashing in the water, trying to gain control of the body. He even yelled at it, and shook the coffin. Erina just held Lisa Lisa and trembled. Before the sun had rose, Dio knocked on the coffin, asking for more blood. Dio brings out a fistful of fish, which had been cooked using his Space-Ripper Stingy Eyes. She takes the fish, and eats it, feeding some to Lisa Lisa. Watching as she wasn't eating herself, Dio says that she should eat to feed the baby and the baby inside of her. Surprising Erina, because she didn't know she was pregnant. After feeding Lisa Lisa, she finishes the fish. A while later, Dio goes back to the bottom compartment of the box. Seeing through her scheme to burn him with the sunlight, Dio threatens that he can kill both her and the baby anytime he wishes. She froze in fear, Dio says that she must feed him more blood as punishment. He grabs the baby, and says that Erina cannot die, or he will have to eat the baby.

Dio flips the box over, and grabs a bird and cooks it for her to eat. Wondering how he managed to do all of that without fearing the sun, she eats the bird. After a while, Dio begins to loose his mind, and begins to abuse and verbally harrass her.
