[Jonathan brightens up immediately, matching up features from Joseph and his older counterpart with glee. Everything makes so much sense now! Goodness, how lucky he must be!]

You're Joseph Joestar, of course! Am I correct?

[And that in itself, he realizes, deserves a larger explanation than he's prepared to give right now. Anyone who knows of him as family and knows the way he dies probably expects him to be shocked that he's far from a childless man. He's heard stories from Lisa Lisa, telling him about her student and the son she had to abandon, from Holly, about the father who would travel across the globe to keep her safe - from Jotaro and Kakyoin, about the grandfather and companion they would never soon forget.

In a way, Joseph has a legacy of his own. By a bizarre twist of fate, they've been put in almost the exact same position - surrounded by people who know more about their lives than they do.]

Let me try to make this clearer. There are several people from our family who have found themselves in the same place as us. I already know from them that I have a grandson, but I've only heard stories about you so far. Goodness, I've heard so much!

[He extends his hand to greet him properly, a sort of bittersweet whimsy in his smile.]

It is a pleasure to finally meet you. I am sorry it couldn't have been any sooner.
