He murmured something unintelligible, and I leaned forward warily.
"What?" He spoke again, and I could barely make out words. Finally, I deciphered what he had said. It's already begun. Was he trying to warn me about something?
I looked up at him, the slightest bit of a question appearing on my face.
Then, he toppled backwards.
