Curious, he flared his nostrils and tried to focus on the direction of the odor. When he found himself standing just outside the door of an empty classroom, he realized that it was tobacco smoke. Cautiously, he opened the door.

"Hello?" he whispered into the darkness.

"I only smoke when I'm upset in some way." He took another drag. "I couldn't sleep."
