*The scene opens with Bryce down on the ground after being shot in the head by the stranger. The snake circles around him. Isaiah stares at Bryce’s body in disbelief.*
Stranger: Hm. He was easier to kill than I expected.
*Isaiah struggles to find the words to express how he’s feeling. He’s just watched his friend get shot down in front of him.*
Stranger: Now, after killing you, I’d better leave this hotel. I’m sure the whole building heard those shots.
Ryan: You’re probably right about that.
*The stranger turns around to see Ryan walking towards him, Swap Meet hovering over his shoulder.*
*The stranger raises his gun to Ryan.*
Stranger: Hey, stay back, this thing is loaded.
Ryan: Go ahead, shoot me then!
*Ryan begins running towards the stranger. The man fires 3 more shots at Ryan. At the same time, Ryan reaches into his pocket and pulls out some coins. He throws the coins into the air. Suddenly, the locations of the bullets swap places with the coins, and the bullets fly into the ceiling.*
Stranger: What!?
*Swap Meet punches the man in the face, sending him sprawling to the ground and knocking him out. The snake vanishes. A few seconds later, Bryce begins to slowly stand up. His gunshot wound is gone.*
Isaiah: Bryce?! Are you okay?
Bryce: Jeez, that hurt. Remind me not to get shot anymore.
Isaiah: But you should be dead!
Bryce: Maybe there’s more to your stand than we thought. Anyway, what are you doing here, Ryan?
Ryan: I knew something was up when Isaiah didn't come back, then I heard those gunshots. What happened to Riley? And where are the others?
Bryce: They're in my room. We need to get Riley back to the others, but we also need to go after the guy on the floor above us.
Ryan: How do you know there’s another enemy above us?
Bryce: It’s kinda complicated. We’ll explain later. We just really need to get up there.
Isaiah: I can take Riley back.
Bryce: No way. After seeing that your stand basically makes me immortal, I want you to stay in the action.
Ryan: Alright, how about I take Riley back, and I'll let the others know that we've taken care of one of the stand users.
Bryce: Sure thing, but what about our friend here?
Ryan: Hm.. I’ve got an idea.
*Ryan takes two more coins out of his pocket, and throws them down the hall. He then swaps both Riley and the stranger’s locations with the coins, and picks up the coins.*
Ryan: I’ll just keep doing this.
Bryce: Hey, whatever works.
*Bryce picks up the stand glasses that the man had, puts them on, and looks at Isaiah.*
Bryce: Just as I thought. Your stand allows for someone to “heal from injuries and- cheat death”? I guess that’s a good summary.
Isaiah: So I can heal people like Zack?
Bryce: I think your stand can only heal people if you use your ability on them. When you hit me with your stand’s scythe, that made me unable to be injured, or die, for that matter.
