P: The pair of Johnny and Pucci quickly weaved around many corners following the path of the plant like trail. After a few minutes, they encounter a room of dozens of bodies that appear to have been made the roots of a tree that extends from the ground, filling almost the entire room. At the bottom of this jungle tree laid a green baby covered and surrounded by multi-colored leaves and flowers.

”Is this what was born? This is... The path to heaven. I’ve finally achieved it...” Pucci faced in awe of the tree, surrounded by gigantic roots and almost mystical brush. He began to slowly approach the baby when suddenly he heard footsteps coming from behind.

”Are you marveling at it, Pucci?” Pucci turned to see Joker appear behind him, with a golden triangle hung upside down on his forehead. ”This is the birth of something new... The earthly paradise. Paria. Eden.” Pucci looked in shock at Joker.

”But, two conflicting memory discs should have distorted your mind! You showed me that all that time ago! How are you still thinking and moving freely?!”

“Yes, I remember Pucci. Your tortuous ways. Well, it isn’t like that with me. For you see, you think I am three, but I am one. I am the combination. Or at least, I will be. For that, I require you, Johnny. Your skills. Your ability.” Pucci backed off and rushed towards the child.

”This is not the time for your nonsensical riddles!” Pucci attempted to grab the child, but noticed that he has been running for quite some distance. ”How far is...?” Pucci looked around and realized that he had significantly shrunk in size. He looked back to see Joker towering over him.

”Aren’t you adorable? It’d be so wrong to destroy you now, perhaps later.” Joker walked by and the green baby naturally responded to his presence and immediately began waddling toward him. Pucci retreated back to Johnny, regaining his original stature.

”What is this? Hus size... Remains constant? But with that handicap, how am I supposed to reach it?” Joker took the child into his arms and began speaking in a low tone, but still remained audible to Johnny and Pucci

”Spiral staircase, Rhinoceros beetle, ruins street, Via dolorosa, Rhinoceros beetle, Singularity point, Giotto, Angel, Hydrangea, Rhinoceros beetle, Singularity point, Secret Emperor.” The baby then pushed Joker back and they flew into a nearby bush.

WR (Weather Report): ”It doesn’t matter who I am. I want to know what is happening and why. I want to know everything.” Anasui stayed behind Weather as the snails began to depart from the area around them.

J: Jolyne looked around in thought. ”I don’t know what he wants to do with me. Knowing him, I’m just a token to placate my father into not attacking him. A hostage perhaps. But, that is not the way I want it to be. I’m not going to mindlessly play his game. You say he has ulterior motives? If that’s the case, perhaps we should slip out now that he’s in the future. Let’s use the portal he opened to escape back into the past! If we stay here, we’ll wind up dead by either him or Pucci. Let’s link up with my father and his group and then prepare to counterattack!”
