Endless Power heals the peacock. Rich Power drags away his possessions. Guns. Rich Power tries to attack Endless Power. Hand squeezes fruit. Endless Power makes one of the seeds reveal a hidden staircase to Rich Power. He goes down the stairs while she releases the objects from the boxes. The objects go down after Rich Power.
