*The scene opens with the hospital group outside of the bathroom discussing what their next course of action should be.*

Zack: What the hell is happening exactly?

Hayden: We're under attack by an enemy stand user.

Zack: Yeah I know that. What kind of stand is it?

Hayden: Not sure. We think it's able to lock certain parts of your body into place.

Andrew: Yeah. That's what happened to Ozzy’s arm. Luckily, Ryan was able to teleport him out of there.

Ryan: Actually Andrew, me teleporting Ozzy is what ripped his arm off. So I advise not getting hit by the enemy stand if you wanna ensure you keep your limbs.

Zack: So what you're saying is that there's no way to get your affected body part unstuck?

Isaiah: Not that we know of.

Zack: Maybe Ozzy knows something. He was the one the stand was used on.

Hayden: I doubt it, and even so I don't think it's worth the risk to undo my stand on him yet.

Zack: But I healed him. He should be fine.

Hayden: He's fine physically, but he lost a lot of blood. He might still be lightheaded, and the last thing we need is him passing out.

Zack: Fine. But the second he's stable, we ask him if he knows anything.

Hayden: That's fine with me. But for right now we need to move.

Ryan: Where to?

Hayden: Well we saw the enemy fall down after you swapped him with Ozzy, so we know he's below us.

Andrew: So you think we should keep going up? Put more distance between us?

Hayden: Actually I was thinking we should go down.

Ryan: Are you crazy? If we go down we'll end up face to face with the enemy.

Isaiah: Yeah, I'm with Ryan on this one.

Hayden: There are two sets of stairs in this building. We can go down the one the enemy isn't climbing.

Zack: But how do we know which set he's going up?

Hayden: We don't.

Andrew: So then how the hell is this plan gonna work?

Hayden: As messed up as this is, we have to bait the enemy.

Ryan: And how the hell are we gonna do that?

Hayden: We do what we're doing now. But we use your stand as soon as we see the enemy.

Isaiah: Wait. We just sit here until the enemy shows up.

Hayden: Yes. Ryan an quickly go and place an object of some sort in both stairwells. Then we'll move to a spot where we can see both doors.

Ryan: You know I'm only able to swap two things locations with each other right? One object isn't gonna work for all six of us.

Hayden: Well then place six objects in each stairwell. Here take these.

*Hayden leans down and takes off his shoes and hands them to Ryan. He then signals to everyone to do the same.*

Hayden: There you go. Six of us with two shoes each, a total of twelve shoes. Now go put six of them in each stairwell.

Andrew: But if Ryan swaps our location with them then won't we lose our shoes?

Hayden: Yeah. But we don't need shoes to get the hell out of here.
