*The scene opens with the group all squirming around midair in fear of what's about to happen next. As they attempt to summon their stands, Rob continues to speak.*

Rob: Everyone calm down. You're going to be fine as long as you remain calm. Our traitorous friend here is the only one we were sent to kill.

Jonte: Unfortunately.

Rob: Jonte, be quiet. I'm sure they're already in shock at the sight of you. You itching to kill them is only gonna make them less agreeable.

*Jonte sighs in disappointment.*

Jonte: Fine.

*Rob turns back to the group and walks in between the floating members, now in range of their stand abilities, showing a sign of trust.*

Rob: If one of you wants to punch my head off you can, but I'm only getting this close to show you we truly mean you no harm.

Hayden: Then why are you here?

Rob: Nice try, Hayden. Does someone else wanna ask that question? I'll answer it then.

Ozzy: You know about our stand abilities, huh?

Rob: Don't act surprised. Nearly all of us do. You know that already.

Bryce: So if you're not here to try and kill us, then what are you here for?

Rob: Transport. Jonte isn't really necessary for this, but Mother insisted I have him come as a safety measure. In case you all put up a fight.

Hayden: If you aren't here to kill us you'd tell Jonte to let us go.

Rob: You're right, and I will. But only once I hear it from everyone's mouth that I won't see your stands. If you can agree to that, you won't see either mine or Jonte's. Alright?

Ozzy: How can we trust the two of you to keep your word?

Bryce: Yeah, I'm not sure I can really take anything Mr. Axe Psycho says as truthful. Just look at him, he's literally itching to kill us, like you said.

*Rob and the group all stare at Jonte, who is constantly fidgeting with his axe in his hand. Rob then lets out a deep sigh as he realizes that Jonte is always going to make things harder than they need to be.*

Rob: Jonte, can you step back from them. Like, way back?

Jonte: Why?

Rob: Because, now I'm not even sure I can trust you to not hurt them. Look at your damn knuckles, man.

*Jonte looks down and notices how tightly he has been gripping his axe, his knuckles a pale white.*

Jonte: I'm not gonna do anything!

Rob: Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Just go stand outside or something. Alright? And deactivate your stand when you do.

Jonte: Fine.

*Jonte walks to the front door of the restaurant and steps outside, before the door can close, Rob shouts out to him.*

Rob: And don't kill anyone else!

*As the door closes the group can see Jonte raising his hands up in anger at Rob's words. Soon the group all fall down to the ground.*

Rob: There you go. Is that better now?

Andrew: You let us down early? We didn't all agree to what you said.

Rob: Yeah, I know. I figured as long as you were being affected by a stand you wouldn't be willing to actually listen. So I let you down.
