Manami had her body pressed against the door, her heart beating a mile a minute as she listened to the guy on the other side mess with the knob and key. The guy was spitting out obscene things that Manami wouldn't tell to her own mother, things that no one in their right mind would think of. Her heart skipped a beat when she heard the little [i]click![/i] of her door unlocking. He thought that was gonna be the end of it but Manami had dead bolted the door. This caused the man to spew more slurs and she heard him begin to pound on the door, it was loud. How in the world was no one coming out of their apartments to check on the sound, she knew for a fact that she wasn't the only person living on this floor.

She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket and used one hand to reach for it, looking at the message that the Marshal had sent her. Her stomach fluttered with relief upon reading that she was there. The guy suddenly stopped what he was doing and went silent for a moment, Manami didn't want to move to look through the peephole to see what he was doing. Her feet were frozen in place out of fear. Instead of being loud like he was the guy softly cursed on the other side of the door, he banged once more on the door and then suddenly there was silence. It was eerie and lingered for a minute. Was he finally gone? Taking a deep breath Manami turned to face the door and got up on her tippy toes to look through the peephole. There was nothing, no shadow or indication that he was out there.

Manami waited just another moment before slowly undoing the deadbolt and the chain lock, her hand hovered over the door handle. What if he was just hiding further down the hall, what if he planned to rush her once she opened the door? So many paranoid thoughts were running through her head, she had no idea what she was supposed to do, she couldn't think clearly at all.
