Here's another scene that I think you'll all enjoy.
~~~
"You're welcome, you know."

"! ...What the hell? Why… Why is someone like you here?" Homura wasn't someone very in touch with popular culture. While she saw a movie every now and then, asking the girl to name some famous actors or new TV shows was an impossible task. Despite this, even Homura recognized the man standing before her. For this man was one that virtually everyone in all of Japan knew of! He was so well-known, in fact, that there was no need to describe his appearance! After all, this man was!

"Why is 「Rohan Kishibe」 here?!"

"Helping you, evidently," Rohan said with a bit of a sigh. "You could sound a little more appreciative of that, little girl."

"...Thank you."

"Well, at least you're trying. Probably as much as I can hope for out of you."

"...Okay?" It was clear to Homura that the man was an ass, but she had yet to determine how big of an ass he was. "You were the one who paralyzed the familiars before, I assume. That must mean you're a Stand user. Are you a friend of Jotaro-san and Josuke-san?"

"Jotaro-san, yes. Josuke can rot in Hell, for all I care."

"?"

"As for you, you must be one of those magical girls Jotaro-san told me about. I must say, I imagined something much for feminine and colorful, as opposed to gritty and blood-stained."

"Sorry for not living up to your expecta-"

"It's marvelous."

"...Hah?" That response was initially geared towards Rohan's words, but instead, Homura found herself spitting out the words in response to Rohan suddenly pulling out a pen and notepad and drawing right in front of her!

"This is great! What deceptively delicious deconstruction! Your world takes the tropes common to the magical girl genre and flips them right on their heads! That sort of appeal is one most people wouldn't attempt to go for, but I can tell that it works here!" Rohan then flipped his notepad around to show Homura what he made: an incredibly detailed sketch of her torn-up body. "I couldn't bring my work pens with me, didn't want to risk losing them so far from home, but still, pretty good for something made with a regular office pen, don't you think?"

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Homura's bluntness took Rohan back a step. "You're seeing all of this in front of you, and you think the best thing to do is draw?!"

"No, but that doesn't mean I can't do it, anyway, right?" If Homura still had her legs, she would definitely put effort into thinking about kicking him in the shin. "I could also not help you, you know. Koichi-kun said that I should be the one to help you since there weren't as many familiars around you, but if you're going to give me such an attitude…"

"Can you help me, please?"

"That's better." After putting his pen and notepad away, Rohan stepped towards Homura, only to stop when he was only a few steps away from her. "I just realized that the most immediate way to help you would be to carry you. If I did that, though, I'd get teenage girl blood all over my clothes."

"Are you-!" Suddenly, a small, pure white figure wearing a transparent hat appeared next to Rohan. At the same time, her skin and flesh was suddenly peeled apart like a grapefruit! But rather than see blood and guts in her peripherals, Homura saw the same thing she saw in the familiars' bodies: 「pages of books」!

"And now we do this." Rohan took his pen back out from his pocket and, to Homura's disbelief, started writing on her insides! "All done."

"What's 'all done'?! What did you-wha!" In the midst of her shouts, Homura found her body suddenly floating in the air!

"See, look at yourself. You're still bleeding out of all those holes. No way I'm touching you! It's much easier for me to just 「write」 a command like this."

"'「Write」 a command'? Then this is your Stand's power?"

"That's correct." 「Heaven's Door」! Stand user: 「Rohan Kishibe」! By summoning his Stand, Rohan can turn a target's body into pages of a book, completely immobilizing them! In addition, by writing commands on the pages, Rohan can make his target do anything he wants them to do, even if the task would normally be physically impossible!
"To be specific, what I wrote on you was '「I will become lighter than air and float next to Rohan Kishibe until he and I get to Jotaro-san and company」'. This way, we can get ourselves back to our respective groups, and I don't have to have my clothes stained with blood." Rohan then took off in a seemingly random direction, Homura's now incredibly light body floating right by him.

"Right…" This guy is a complete ass, but at least he's helping me. I should be grateful for that.

"And while we're heading there!" Rohan pulled Homura's head over to near his face. "I can see what sort of life you've been living up until this point! Maybe I'll be able to find something worth using in the future!"

...I should be grateful, but...
