For a second, I feel like I’m having a déjà vu. Like I’ve been here before, in this very elevator, my pale fingers twisting the dark green fabric of my second-hand trench. But not just that — I feel like I’m going underwater, like I’m falling, sinking deep, my eyes and ears filling up. And for a split second, I almost think… I almost think the whole world flickers out of view. As if every light in the universe had gone dark, and— My ears pop painfully. The sensation is gone.
