Code error on creating characters

So I’m not sure how to explain this so I’ll also show my coding at the bottom. For some reason when I have my characters to be changed when I change one that isn’t the first person the first or 2nd character walks behind the person I was working on and it goes back to them… I definitely must be coding something wrong. Can someone please take a look at it and tell me what I can do to fix it? Thank!

Example of my code:

INT. WALKINCLOSET - DAY

@PRINCESS KYRA stands screen center AND PRINCESS KYRA faces left

label changing_appearance

This is Princess Kyra. You will be playing as her.
Her hair color is important to this story. So is her eye color.
If you choose to change the colors just know that I will write her default colors.

Are you talking about the layers being wrong?

I don’t think so. It’s like when I make the choice to change say King Kyro’s look and then when I’m done Lance will come back onto the screen with him. Very confusing,

I’m positive it’s something with my coding. I just need to know what to add or place differently so it stops. My code is in the first post.

Hmmm, that’s Weird, I can’t find the problem in the script. Have you previewed on your phone too? Might just be a bug in the portal preview

It’s Hard helping by just looking At the script though. But Idk I can’t find the problem within the coding.

Yes that’s where I found the problem. I hope that’s it. I’ll be publishing the book hopefully tonight. So should I keep it the way that it is? Or delete it? I don’t want it to bug out on everyone else.
