Narration: Let us observe a hibernating Rock Human.
Let's look for Rock Humans. I wonder where and how many there are?
Let's try setting up a fixed camera and see what we can record.
Answer: 2 (Probably)
Narration (Top Right): Sleep will hit suddenly at different times depending on the indivdual. Once asleep, they will stay asleep for 30 to 90 days.
Once they've woken up, they will not sleep again for no less than 2 months.
There are shallow cracks on the surface.
The number of them matches their age in years.
Breathing is halted as well, but there is a faint skin respiration through these cracks.
They can live for over 25 years in conditions of sleeping in 950°C at a maximum and -240°C at a minimum.
Their body heat disappears.
Circle: With something strong like a drill or a hammer
Narration (Right): We cannot recommend vandalism. When chipped, they bleed.
The pulse disappears as well. (Strictly speaking in the deepest parts of them, there is 1 to 2 strokes of pulse in 3 minutes and a faint electric signal.)
Right Box: ----Disliked Places----
☆Places where there were previously eruptions, floods, or landslides.
☆Places where like the bottom of a body of water or underground where there is risk of suffocating when they wake up.
☆Places where birds will poop on them.
☆Places they will get covered in Anacardiaceae tree sap.
Narration (Under Rockman): Moss called liverwort is prone to growing on them.
There are some that create pearls in 60 days.
Mushrooms called Hypholoma fasciculare are prone to growing on them. They are poisonous.
Top Left: If they detect the fixed camera we have setup, we'll be killed!
Nearly no scent. Sometimes dogs can sniff them out, but they do not take an interest an leave.
Top Left Box: ----Places Rock Humans Like----
○Shrine grounds
○Parks with statues
○The gardens of expensive houses
○(For some reason) Underneath trees with squirrels
○Underneath maple trees
Bottom Left: Regarding Hardening:
A cell system which makes all moisture move to the interior, drying them.
The carbon-rich cell walls close like shelter doors.
If they are carrying any small items on them, they will be covered with a hard membrane with them. When they wake up, it tears off like a scab.

Page 4:
Top Box: 95% of Rock Humans are Stand Users
Top Left Box: There are males and females.
They have sex and give birth to humans. ["male" and "female" are circled.]
Top Right: Visually, they are no different from humans. The skin of an awakened Rock Human is slightly moist, damp, and erotic.
On rare occasions, they will fall in love with humans of the opposite sex, but according to statistics they break up 97.5% of the time. The breakups end in the form of murder. Biologically, they cannot have children with humans.
Middle Box: They transform every 6 years.
Top Arrow Line: Early Childhood
Childhood
Adolescence 1
Adolescence 2
Prime 1
Lower Middle Text: They do not change bit by bit, they grow by 'molting' and change their form all at once. The transformation occurs during sleep. Their estimated life span is 240 years.
As they age, the poses they make as they sleep changes. Why it changes is unknown.

Page 5:
Top Box: Eating Habits
Below That: All individuals show an allergy to mango and love honey. They eat vegetables, nuts, fruit, meat, and fish; all kinds of living things.
2nd Box: Theology and Philosophy
They believe in the powers found in the earth and in nature. They have a reverence and humbleness towards that power. For biological or perhaps historical reasons, it is impossible for them to coexist or reach mutual understanding with humans.
Middle Box: Social Life and Language
Because they are fundamentally able to live through changes in temperature, storms, droughts, and the like, they do not need have assets like a savings, a house, or land. Nor do they try to have collectivity or countries. However, because their land and living environments have diminished due to the increase in the human population and advances in human culture over the last few thousand years, some take the form of 'parasites' and live with them. They gain human knowledge, speak human language, snatch family registers, gain land and assets and slip in among them. Rather than having a desire to possess things, it is purely 'parasitism'. They are just using human society for their own ends.
Left: They sleep for several months, so they annoy hold jobs which have business hours.
Left Box: Dainenjiyama Aishou is a (non-regular) security guard.
Middle Box: Yagiyama Yotsuyu is an architect.
Right Box: People like mangakas that take lots of breaks are very suspicious.
Bottom Left Small Box (Top): Population
Text Next to it: No statistics
Bottom Left Small Box (Bottom): Death
Text Next to it: Their corpses break apart shortly after death. No mummies or fossils have been found.

Younger: This guy......

Page 10:
Younger: He put the fire out......
He blew away the flames on that Karera girl with soap bubbles.
He blew off Big Brother's lip, too.
Kind of similar, isn't it?
to that guy's 'Stand'. Pretty nearby his condo, too~~~.
His ability is similar to the deceased 'Kira's'.
How far are you gonna go?
Until he tells us who he is...?

You really should stop doing that.

Page 31:
Jou: That ball your little brother kicked and you, the older brother, caught with your left hand...
which you then stuck inside it. If the contents of that ball is 'poison gas', then......
I'll win.
You should stop.
I'll say it one more time.
Fully.
I'll win
if the contents of that ball is 'poison gas'.

Page 32:
SFX: BUSSHUUUU

Page 33-34:
Elder: Ah!
Jou: I filled the ball with those.
It looks like you didn't see them before, but now you're covered with them.
And when those 'soap bubbles' pop...
I'm telling you that the contents they'll scatter will be 'poison gas'.

Page 35:
Elder: Who are you?
This ability. 'Taking' and 'making things explode'... it's like Kira's..........!
Your face is different, but you're also similar to one other guy.
Could it be that you're 'Josefumi'...?!
Younger: Big Brother! Give me back the ball!!
Give it to meeee!
I'll kick it straight into that bastard!

Kare: I
decided not to run after all.
I think I'll stay in this town a little longer.
I really... like you, Secchan!
Also......
I can't let you have the 'Rokakaka' all for yourself. ["all for yourself" in italics.]
That thing's worth money... Big money.
You hid it well somewhere nearby, right? ["well" in italics.]
I wanna do it well, too.
And you look the way you do... because you did an equivalent exchange with 'Kira', right?!
I can break away, too.......
from this piece of shit world.
