No no! Uhh.. Your hair is fine! Let’s just forget about what I said earlier okay?

"I’m not honestly sure how their relationship works. Neither one looks to be unhappy though. I also know that the version of Jonathan that I’m speaking of is a human. Not sure if he has a Stand or not, but still, definitely not a vampire."

"Ah, I think I understand. It seems that the roles were reversed where you came from. To what extent I do not know. Most of the Jonathan’s that I’ve met are gentlemanly. Of course I don’t know if that’s a facade or not, but I’m usually a rather decent judge of character."

[ ☽ ] — “That's odd. I'd expect him to be a vampire at that point. And he should have a Stand too... I wonder if he just hasn't had time to get his yet."

No.. It’s just that..

[He scratches the back of his head.]

[He blinked]

"Truth be told, I’ve only met one other version of myself. He was much the same as I, but that didn’t come as a surprise."

"As for you though, I know that there are many versions. Some more eccentric than others. In most you have battled the Joestars, I am not sure under what context. However, there are versions that are on speaking terms with their former rivals. I know of at least one pair of Dio and Jonathan that are lovers, if I’m not mistaken."

[ ☽ ] — “Me? With-- Jonathan?! He'd..." He'd tried multiple times to kill his father, but... if he and his Jonathan were to enter such a relationship, he'd be emotionally and physically abused. Dio hoped his version of himself wasn't doing that to Jonathan. "He'd rip me apart, but... make me heal again, and..."

"Perhaps the best way that I can describe it is to use myself as an example as well. Since coming here I’ve learned that there are a multitude of realities. This was actually something I knew before, however…."

"In most realities, there are differences, subtle ones. Perhaps one side wins a battle that they lose somewhere else. Perhaps someone lives where they otherwise died. In the scope of things though it’s a drop in the bucket, if we’re being honest."

"Sometimes though there are radical changes. My history, for example, is incredibly different from that of most others. There, versions of yourself and Jonathan, or Johnny as he’s known, are actually horse racers."

[ ☽ ] — “Horse racers? That would be a much easier life than this..." Dio mused quietly. "I understand, however. Thank you so much for your answer." They both were from universes with radical changes. The Gods rolled their dice, and they landed.
