When the elevator arrived, he stepped inside. He turned around scade as
the doors closed.
I was also about to leave when I suddenly saw his eyes widen. Notong his strange expression, I realized my scarf had fallen to the ground at some point.
The elevator doors opened again as he squeezed through them and darted toward me. Grabbing my shoulders, he quavered, “How did you get hurt?
