Fugo joins them at the back seats. His eyes lands on Trish who remains silent throughout the trip. Latte looks out of the back window at her left. Mista grins at the sight, whispering to him. "I get it, Fugo." His left arm over Fugo's shoulders. "I can't help but stare at you know what, either." Their eyes look at both Trish and Latte's chest. Their mouths dry up at the sight. Mista's eyes couldn't help but drink up at the sight of Latte's. The van take a sharp turn. Before Fugo realize what is going on, his right cheek lands on something soft. 

The male raises his head to realize that his right cheek was on Latte's chest. "AHHH!" Mista quickly pulls off Fugo from Latte. He silently curses at Fugo's luck. Trish looks at the sight with shock. The gunner quickly apologizes to Latte for Fugo's 'perverted' behavior. "He wasn't trying to take advantage of the sudden braking to see your breasts or touch your thighs! He just couldn't help himself!" Fugo shouts at Mista that it was an accident. Latte simply waves it off, seeing it was an accident.

Fugo silently thanks Latte's understanding nature. Luckily, nothing more happened after that incident.

Arriving the train station, the team found themselves in a room within the gold key with a red gem. This key fits inside a turtle's shell. "This turtle is a stand user?" Narancia spoke up. Rising his left arm, he found half of his body out of the turtle. Quickly, Latte pulls him back by grabbing the back of his shirt. Fugo notes that this room isn't an illusion, a real space. Leone told Bruno that the mini fridge in the room has cold drinks.

This is a good place to wait until they arrive in Venice. Latte took a bottle of ice water to drink from. After a few minutes, Latte noted that Giorno, Fugo, and Leone are taking a power nap on the red couch. They deserved a break since they are ones who got the key. Trish took a seat to drink ice water. Across from Trish is Bruno drinking water in his seat. Latte took a seat with Narancia at his left side. Narancia and Mista lean against wall close to Latte. She left her seat to stretch her legs by walking around. 

Mista asks Narancia if he wants anything but it is met with silence. He recommends Narancia to sit down and relax. Latte and Mista stops to look at the older teen to see him coughing something up. A cold chill run down Mista's spine when seeing something hanging from the older teen's mouth. Narancia's appearance slowly changes to reveal him as an elderly man. "What the hell's wrong with you?!" Mista shouts out, "Buccarati!" 

They went to combat mode. It is unnerving to see the other's becoming old. "A stand that turns people old?!" Mista exclaims, "Did they figure out we're in this turtle?" Latte noted that herself and the remaining members age slower when compare to others. Bruno tell Mista they have two options - leave the train or defeat the enemies. Mista prefer the second option. He pulls out his revolver pistol, "I have my sex pistols for the job." A tap on his right shoulder made Mista look at Latte. 

She motions herself and him. He caught on her gesture - "We should work together." Mista nods his head, accepting her help. They have no time to waste or they will wither and die from old age. Before they could leave, Giorno stops them. He mentions that them age slower when compare himself. "Mista and myself are light. Trish and Latte's are even less." Bruno spoke up. 

They are able to figure out why they aged slower - temperature difference because they consume cold drinks. Mista only found two ice cubes from the metal tray in the mini fridge. "Take those with you." Bruno orders Mista. 

"Mista, Latte, you're going to take that ice and defeat the enemy. Before the ice melts and you lose your stand power." The gunner turns to the mute women. Latte's eyes connect with Mista's, giving him a nod. 

Mista is the first one to come out of the turtle. Latte follows him while Mista acts as look out. She motions to the hallway. "Right." He whispers. Both of them stop when their eyes land on the air conditioner. Perfect, what a lucky find for them. Latte motions Mista to keep watch while she turns on the air conditioner. 

Pressing the button, Latte felt something crawl up to her finger up to her left hand. A loud bang made Mista turn his head to see Latte against the wall. Pain in her expression is shown. His eyes widen to see a fishing hook moving towards her shoulder quickly. "Latte! Shit, there are two stand users! " He shouts out.

The user of the Beach boy pauses when feeling the bullet hitting his stand. "Mista? No, I caught someone else." He thought out loud, "Someone lighter? A female?!" There is someone that they don't know in Buccarati's team. It can't be the boss' daughter. This person is different. 

Just who is this person?
