It was 9 a.m. in San Pedro.
James had just woken up and was standing beside his bed, staring blankly into the air.

James (thinking):
What the hell is going on?
I hope I'm not dreaming… because if I'm not, then this might just be the greatest day of my life. (laughs)
My wish was granted… (tears up)
I'll get them back… for everything they did to me.
[Flashback – A few days ago]
James lay in a trash bin, bloodied and beaten.
Clint towered over him, laughing cruelly.
Clint: "What did you say to me, you fat fucker?"
James: "I said… what did I ever do to you?"
Clint: "I just don't like the way you look."
The others burst into laughter.
James (shouting):
"FOR THREE YEARS YOU BULLIED ME JUST BECAUSE OF HOW I LOOK?!
FUCK YOU!"
Chris: "I told you, man—at some point, this fucker was gonna snap!" (laughs)
Hadis: "Shut the fuck up."
James tried to fight back and kicked Hadis in the stomach.
Clint (mocking): "Oh? You gonna fight now, huh? What you gonna do?"
Without warning, Clint grabbed James by the head and slammed it into the concrete.
James groaned in pain, blood dripping from his forehead.
Clint:
"Nothing's gonna change, James.
Every time I see you, I'm going to beat the fuck out of you.
Why?
Because it's funny—to me, and to them.
So stay alive, hahaha. This ain't over."
They walked away, laughing.
James lay there, shaking.
James (whispers through sobs):
"Why me…?"
[Present – Back in James' room]
James clenched his fists.
James (thinking):
I'm going to get them back.
They have no idea what's coming. (grins)
But first… let's see what this is.
