[Well, that would put a damper on things, not being alive. After all, they're likely around a similar age. And Jonathan, too, just a little older. She answers before she can get too maudlin thinking about how cruel that is.]

That... is quite the pedigree. Though... I do wonder...

All those possible names, all those countries, and all of you are still Jo-something. I can't laugh, or I'll wake Jonathan, but it is funny.

[It's something she tries not to dwell too long on, otherwise the reality of it all hits harder than she'd care to admit.]

I know, right? Even my damn dad's name has a jo in the beginning of it and his name is Japanese. It's absolutely wild.

... Though come to think of it, actually, grandma's name doesn't.

Oh? What is her name and what is she like?

[strings_theory]

Holy.

She's... I didn't get to see her too much since that's... a long flight. But when I did, she's probably one of the sweetest people I've ever been around. Like, genuinely so.

It sounds like you have many good memories, even if it was tiring to travel. I can understand; carriage travel is no treat. Also, I'm disappointed in my son. All these singular children. You would have thought you had more... more. Cousins and aunts and uncles and the like.

We wanted a larger family than one child, after all.

I suppose if you have no extended Joestar family, then you must have Pendleton family somewhere distant. I was the only daughter, but I had older brothers. Of course, they were very cross at how quickly Jonathan and I wed, so there is that.
