One of the inmates is working for Pale Snake and Jolyne and Ermes have to uncover who before they’re killed.

Episode six of Stone Ocean is an Ermes’s episode. Ermes gets dropped head-first in the wild world of Stands when she accidentally gets involved with a suicidal janitor unaware of that his Stand is inflicting his self-harm onto others. Now, she needs to keep the man alive long enough to steal his Stand so he can stop hurting others.
