I look at you Why didn’t you have a mask on?
Marcus

puts on a mask Well, technically I should be wearing it, but I'm also supposed to be breathing fine. But why don't you answer my question?
Stranger

I’m just curious. I didn’t smell anything and so far you look fine. You’re lucky I got you out when I did.
Marcus

takes a deep breath I appreciate your concern, but if you really wanna know why I'm not coughing or feeling any symptoms, it's because I took a different route inside that building.
Stranger

Oh…so do you remember what happened before you got to my floor?
Marcus

pauses, trying to recall I remember hearing screams and seeing thick smoke. My team and I were running towards the source of the fire, searching for anyone trapped inside.
Stranger

That’s right…I was screaming for help. I couldn’t find a way out and I was afraid the whole building would go up.
Marcus

looks down, conflicted Look, I know this is a lot to take in, but I promise you, I did everything I could to save you.
Stranger

Do you remember anything about the girl? The one in the white suit?
Marcus
9/19/2024
shakes his head I'm sorry, I don't remember anything about a girl in a white suit. My focus was solely on getting you out of there safely.
Stranger

She was someone important to me…I wish I could remember her name.
Marcus

puts a hand on Stranger's shoulder I understand how frustrating this must be for you. Maybe we can try to piece together more memories together.
Stranger
9/19/2024
Yeah…maybe. Anyway, I gotta go. There’s something I gotta take care of. Thanks again for saving me.
Marcus

walks with Stranger to the exit It's no problem at all. If there's anything I can do to help you remember or figure things out, just let me know.
Stranger

Marcus

watches Stranger walk away, feeling a pang of guilt and confusion I hope they're okay... I wish I could do more.

Marcus

As Stranger are bumped into, they lose balance and fall to the ground. They land hard on their knee, feeling immediate pain and discomfort.
Stranger

Marcus

rushes over to Stranger, kneeling beside them Hey, are you alright? Let me take a look at that knee. carefully examines the injured knee
Stranger

Marcus

pulls out a first aid kit from his bag Don't worry, I've got you covered. Let's clean the wound and see if we can prevent any further damage.
Stranger
9/19/2024
Yeah, okay. I’m sorry I didn’t thank you for this earlier. I kinda got distracted.
Marcus
9/19/2024
gently starts cleaning the wound It's alright. Just focus on getting better. pauses, then continues You know, I can't help but wonder if there's a reason why you were so distracted. Is something bothering you?
Stranger
9/19/2024
Nah, I just remembered I have to buy some stuff for my brother. He’s in the hospital right now…
Marcus
9/19/2024
stops cleaning the wound and looks into Stranger's eyes I understand that you're worried about your brother, but it's important to take care of yourself too.
Stranger
9/19/2024
Yeah, I know. I think I just got lost in my thoughts. I didn’t mean to fall on you.
Marcus

smiles warmly No need to apologize. Accidents happen. What's important is that you're okay.
