*The scene opens with Layne and Alice walking through the doors of a brick building. It is now Friday. They walk to the corner and suddenly the room begins shifting around them.*

Layne: I'll never get used to this.

Alice: It does feel strange, doesn't it?

Layne: At Least we know to expect it. Anyone who doesn't would probably freak out.

*The room rotates upside down and Layne walks on the ceiling to a now upside down door. He then opens it and steps aside.*

Layne: After you, sis.

Alice: Thank you.

*Alice walks through and Layne follows behind. They walk up an upside down staircase to another door and then enter through it as well.*

Layne: I wonder if she's alone right now.

Alice: I hope so. I hate when we have to wait.

*The two walk forwards and as they enter the room they are now right side up. They look forwards and see no one else in the room*

Layne: She's not here?

Alice: Where would she be?

*Suddenly a voice fills the entire room.*

Mother: What is it, my children?

*Layne looks around trying to find where the voice is coming from. After a brief moment he gives up and begins to talk.*

Layne: We have some news you'd like to hear.

Mother: Is that so?

Layne: Yes.

Mother: Explain.

Layne: We've recovered Mr. Know-It-All from the hospital.

Mother: Is that all? That isn't news, my dear.

Layne: No ma'am. There's more.

Mother: I see.

Layne: There was an incident that occurred while we were there. A stand user.

Mother: One of the subjects?

*Layne hesitates for a second before explaining further.*

Layne: No ma'am. A patient from the mental department. I scanned him with Mr. Know-It-All, and his stand is one of the most powerful I've ever seen.

Mother: Where is he now?

Layne: I'm not sure. The last we saw him he was in the parking lot of the hospital.

*The voice in the room suddenly changes in tone. It is now one of anger.*

Mother: So, you found someone with an ability that I would find useful, and instead of bringing them to me, you decided to just tell me about them?

Layne: He was too dangerous to approach at the time.

Mother: And why is that?

Alice: He was having a tantrum!

Mother: A tantrum? Did you find me an experienced stand user or a child?

Layne: Both ma'am. It's a strange situation.

Mother: Explain.

Layne: He's a schizophrenic, with multiple personality disorder. His mentality during that time was that of an eight year old child.

Mother: You said you used Mr.Know-It-All on him, correct? How many personalities?

Layne: Three. I believe one of those will be an experienced user willing to listen to our cause.
