Jojo over heaven

Regarding the structure of the stone mask--- Rereading my notes, I see I
wrote that I had come about learning of the mask's true nature through an
accidentally performed experiment on humans. But even learning about the
"bone needles" that Jonathan talked about was somewhat of a coincidence.
This is when Jonathan had challenged me to a duel in his rage over what
I did to Erina.--- He hit me quite mercilessly and I vomited up blood.
That blood, by coincidence, truly by mere coincidence, splashed on the
stone mask that was still hung on the wall at the time.--- And then the bone
needles sprung from the stone mask and it fell on the floor.
Perhaps because the amount of blood was very little, the needles quickly
drew back in.--- Because of that, Jonathan thought that he was the only one that
witnessed the phenomenon. But I, Dio, even in that utterly miserable state where
he had made me cry, level-headedly witnessed what occurred.
I saw the same thing Jonathan saw.
The difference between us was that Jonathan started down the road of
archaeology in order to find the cause of that phenomenon.--- While I, thinking
that mechanism may someday become useful for me, kept my intentions secret.
To be writing about a plan that was never actually put into motion is
kind of shameful, but I still feel like I must record it precisely.
If this notebook is being read by Enrico Pucci or by someone with a
similar personality, I don't think they will scorn before it.
And if they do, that just means I didn't have a good eye for people.
To put it simply, this is what my plan was.
In order to usurp the Joestar family fortune, what I had to do was---
"What I did because it was necessary" was first kill that adoptive father of mine,
that man that fancied himself a gentleman, George Joestar.
As a last resort, I chose murder by poisoning, but--- in the primary stages,
I had come up of a murder using the stone mask.
I would put the stone mask on him after he went to bed, splash blood on
him, activating it--- If a brain was stabbed by all those bone needles, that person
should die.
