The End Part 2 (Chapter 11)
Author's Notes: nothing too crazy, but I do have a few story recommendations at the end.
Jotaro walks into the living room, and introduced himself to Toshiki Miyamizu, saying "My name's Jotaro Kujo, and my grandpa wanted me to ask you guys about the comet. I'm officially representing the Speedwagon Foundation today. Nice to meet you." Toshiki smiles, and says "Hello, Mr. Kujo. I'll try and help you out however I can, and we all appreciate everything your grandfather and the Speedwagon Foundation has been doing to help the Itomori citizens. It's really helping me keep everything organized." Jotaro nods, and says "Of course. And you can call me Jotaro. Let's walk into the other room, for some privacy, and then we can get started."
So Jotaro and Toshiki walk into one of the empty rooms, and they both sit down, with Jotaro getting his pen and paper all ready. He takes out a recording device, and says "I'll be taking notes, but I figure that having some an audio recording would help speed things along. You don't mind, do you?" Toshiki says "It's fine with me. If it'll help the Speedwagon Foundation people work a bit easier, then I'm all for it."
Then Jotaro starts the recording, and begins, saying "This starts recording number 1, with Mr. Toshiki Miyamizu, current mayor of the town of Itomori. First, can you tell me about anything that struck you as odd, around the lead up to the comet's impact?" Toshiki pauses, and says "Alright. There weren't many things that I considered strange on a governmental level or a town level, but there were a few things that seemed strange in my personal life around the time. Would that be relevant?" Jotaro nods, and says "Sure. Anything at all would be helpful, even if it seems irrelevant."
So Toshiki continues, saying "I will preface this in saying that my duties as mayor caused me to see my family less regularly than normal, but it seemed that my older daughter was acting strange for a few months prior to the comet's impact. At first I thought it was a sort of late puberty thing, because she is at that developing age, but there were times when I felt like I was talking to a totally different person." Jotaro interjected, saying "Was it in her personality, or her mannerisms? What exactly seemed different to you?"
Toshiki thought for a moment, and then said "It was definitely her personality and general mannerisms. My daughter is a respectful and shy girl, but there were days when she was much more direct and at times even confrontational with her peers. Sometimes even with me! One day, I got a call from school when she knocked down a desk because a few students were gossiping about her. I've never heard or seen her do anything like that." Jotaro silently listened and wrote his own personal notes, as Toshiki continued, saying "But the strangest part was the day of the comet's impact. She was so convinced that it would happen, that you would think that she had a vision! She even got some of her friends to pull off an elaborate plan to fake an evacuation order."
Jotaro interjected again, saying "She knew the comet would hit? Are you sure it wasn't a coincidence?" Jotaro already heard the same thing from his grandfather, but he wanted to get Toshiki's side of the story as well, because he had a lot less faith in his grandfather's sanity these days. Toshiki answered, saying "I wondered that too, but she was much too certain at the time for me to think of it as a coincidence. She was incredibly confident in her claim, but the strangest part was that, later when she came back to my office, she still thought the comet would hit, but she seemed to be much less certain than before, as if she couldn't remember some of the details."
Jotaro clicks his pen closed and says "I think after one more question, we'll be finished. In a moment, I'll ask you if you see anything strange…" Toshiki becomes confused, and asks "What do you mean?" Jotaro just says "It's just one more thing that the Speedwagon Foundation wants to confirm, for themselves." Then, Jotaro activates Star Platinum, and materializes it in front of him, in-between himself and Toshiki. He then asks "Okay. Do you see anything strange, Mr. Miyamizu?" Toshiki shakes his head, and says "No, I don't believe so… Should I be seeing something?" Jotaro replies, saying "No, it's fine."
Then, Jotaro silently deactivates his stand, and says "Now, this should be enough for now. This ends recording number 1, with Toshiki Miyamizu. Thank you for your time." He then stopped the recording device, and shook Toshiki's hand, saying "This should help us out a lot. Thanks again, Mr. Miyamizu." Toshiki smiles and says "It wasn't a problem at all. And you can call me Toshiki, if you wouldn't mind. You said you wanted to interview Mitsuha as well, correct?" Jotaro nods, and says "Correct. I can wait a bit until she turns up. I'll chat with Josuke in the meantime. Thanks again, Toshiki."
So Toshiki walks out of the room, and returns to his desk, trying to do what he can in organizing all the information and data for the government, so they will have all the records of how all the Itomori citizens faired, how injured they were, and where they were currently staying. Jotaro, went to have a quick chat with Josuke while he waited for Mitsuha to return.
Josuke saw Jotaro, and gave him a bottle of water, and said "Hey Mr. Jotaro! How'd the interview go?" Jotaro replied, saying "It went well, Josuke. Thanks for the water." And after he opened the bottle, and had a bit to drink, he continued, saying "Did you see anything strange that night, Josuke? Anything that might be related to stands?" Josuke silently thought, before saying "I didn't really see any stand users, besides us, and nothing seemed to imply that a stand was around, but I was a bit surprised by how convinced Mitsuha was of the comet's impact." Jotaro replied, saying "You too? Can you give me any details, Josuke? That's the part that really seems important to me."
Josuke explains, saying "Well, it seemed like she wasn't the one who originally came up with that conclusion. It seemed like somebody else who was way more convinced, convinced her first. She even mumbled something like that at some point, referencing somebody else who warned her, but she couldn't remember who he was." Jotaro replied, saying "He? So whoever it was, it was a guy, if we believe that was what happened. Anything else, Josuke?"
Josuke thought a bit more, and then he yelled, "Oh yeah! She had something written on her palm in permanent marker! I couldn't see what was written, but she looked at it like it was a final message or something like that. But that's all the was weird to me. Did that help, Mr. Jotaro?" Jotaro nodded, and said "Yeah, you gave me a few more leads that I can ask Mitsuha about when she gets back. Thanks, Josuke. Do you think you can call Koichi and Okuyasu, and ask them about it as well?" Josuke nods and says "Sure thing!"
After getting a bit more info from Josuke, Jotaro sat down and went over his notes, wondering what exactly was going through Mitsuha's mind lately. He also wondered if she encountered a stand user a few months ago, which would have explained whatever changes her father noticed in her. But from what he heard, it seemed like she was aware of the comet's impact, as if she saw a vision from the future or heard from someone in the future. It didn't seem possible, but if there was anything Jotaro learned from his many experiences with stands and their users, that nothing is truly impossible for a stand.
Around this time, Mitsuha's train just arrived back in Morioh, and she checked the time. It was around noon, and she hoped that her grandmother wasn't worried about her. She thought about why she wanted to go to Tokyo so badly this morning, but she couldn't think of anything except for a desire for some personal time. She decided to not worry too much about it, and just make her way to the Higashikata residence.

Author's Notes:
The ending should only last another chapter or two, and then the story will move on the next main part.
I've actually started reading other works on this website, and I found a few that are really cool, and that I like enough to recommend.
Drifting towards Rebellion (by: Demons Anarchy of Pride) is a really cool Drifters/Code Geass story. It nicely captures the main 3 characters of Drifters, and throws them in world/story of Code Geass.
Here's a link!

Anyone Can Become A Hero (by: Count chaos) is a very good JoJo Part 7/My Hero Academia story. He really nails the personalities of Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli, and they mesh real well in the My Hero Academia world/plot. He actually updated his story yesterday (as of 5/18/17), so check it out.
Here's a link!

Berserker's Bizarre Adventure (by: A Toxic Element) is a cool JoJo/Fate Stay Night story, that has Jotaro act as the servant for Illyasviel, instead of her normal Berserker. It's a pretty fun story, so give it a look.
Here's a link!

Also, if you want more Your Name (Kimi no Na wa.) stories, then check out GoodAsianBoy. He's been doing some fun Your Name stories, and they're pretty nice and wholesome.
I've had a story idea for awhile now, and I might try it out in the future. It'd be a crossover story with Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Code Geass. It's basically from a general desire to see the Galactic Heroes geniuses (Yang and Reinhard) would do in the Code Geass plot. It's a pretty loose idea right now, so I doubt I'd start anything soon. But maybe in the future!
