I run as fast as I can back to my apartment. (End of flashback) I push myself up from the floor. I wipe my face clean and take a few deep breaths. “I need a new plan…” I mutter to myself as I open the door, doing my best to put on a brave face.

Still, it is a small price to pay to correct my foolishness. I look through the cloud of dust, squinting to see if he is still around, coughing a little bit too. I decide to climb further up the ladder where it is easier to breathe as the dust settles. I sigh, in truth, I have only made my job much harder. For now, I have to dust all over again.

"Breath out", I said and again she followed. "Repeat the process ", I instructed and she did without any hesitation.

"Well that's going to take a while to come off." "Stupid, stupid." I muttered. I tried shaking out the dust but it barely made a difference. The dust was still settled on my palm and It looked like it had even multiplied. Seeing that the first approach hadn't worked, I clapped my hands against each other and this method was slightly profitable, except the coughs that raked my throat a couple of minutes after. Still coughing, I thought about something else and dashed back to Noah's desk at the far end of the room. Just like I'd suspected, there was a piece of clothing on his desk. It was a piece of rag or probably his handkerchief he'd accidentally left behind.

“I’m good. I’ll just go home, rest and wait for my doctor.” “If you insist.” “I do.” I clean up in the restroom and tidy the bin I puked in. “Be safe and drive safe.” “I will thanks.” I drive home praying I don’t puke.

I breathe out slowly. “Okay,” I say. “So we just don’t—” My next step— Matches again. Exactly. Same angle. Same position. Like it adjusted.
