"Fire! There's a fire!"
It was a sudden blaze.
Smoke spreads through the building. Voices urge evacuation, and two women try to escape, but they are blocked by flames and smoke.
Is anyone there?! Help!
It was then. There was a loud pounding on the door.
Immediately after, the door was kicked open. Emerging from the smoke was Guest.
Are you okay?!
