Before Giorno had met Bucciarati and the others, a certain florist appeared before Bucciarati. The florist tells him that his daughter had jumped off the roof of an apartment holding a strange looking rock and he wanted to find out the truth behind that bizarre incident. Mista is put in charge of this mission and he goes to track down Scolippi, a sculptor who was the daughter’s boyfriend. Scolippi tells Mista that they are all slaves to destiny, and then a bizarre rock appears in front of them, which tells them Bucciarati’s fate.
It already dwells within 
the stone as its destiny.
بل هو موجود سلفاً داخل الحجر ليمثِّل قدرَه
Sondern dass sie bereits als
Schicksal des Steins enthalten ist.
Ya estaba destinada a serlo
dentro de la piedra.
Ya estaba destinada a serlo
dentro de la piedra.
La forme était déjà incrustée
par le destin dans la pierre.
perché è già inscritta nel destino della roccia.
Ela é o destino que reside na pedra.
она уже предначертана
 камню самой судьбой!
