Light rain pattered against the office window as Makima turned away to let out a sneeze into the air. "Hih'tschoo!" She didn't really feel sick, but sensed a cold was on its way. Her throat felt scratchy and raw like sandpaper and her nose was itchy. Nevertheless, she told herself that she had this cold completely under control and that she was fine. She knew her limits, she would not overexert herself. Suddenly, lightning lit up the sky and the lights went out in the office building.
