I'm not sure. Unless it's mimicking him specifically... [Kakyoin trailed off, looking to his own hand; he wasn't channeling Hamon through it at the moment, but contemplating the idea. Why on earth would the city (or whatever force really controlled it) want to mimic specific Stand users? Was there another Hierophant out there right now, and was it shocking the person with it in a similar way?]
...There has to be. Others, I mean--whatever's going on with me could be mimicking a Stand I don't know about [or one he did] and there are certain to be more than just these two effects going around. Our group alone met at least twenty Stand users, and I have no idea how many Passione must have dealt with.
You've got a point. It might just be coincidence that the two powers I have possess similarities to his. I am sure there is another Stand User out there who has some kind of electric based power. I wouldn't say the shocks really feel like Hamon anyway. It's much less controlled.
[Which might just be his fault or it might be the fault of whatever is going on. Who knows?]
There have to be more variations. If his older self was in the city, there might be reason to specifically mimic Joseph, but he's not. There's no point in mimicking powers that he is only going to vaguely recognize if he does at all.

Right--he wouldn't have any idea what it was even if he's dealing with the same situation you're in. But then again, I don't really understand why this city does anything.
It seems like I have been coming back to the question of 'why' a lot myself lately. It's frustrating I have been here over two years now and am no closer to knowing the answer than when I arrived. Every time it seems like we might be getting somewhere, things change and we are back to square one.
