It's probably just an animal over there, and I need to help Chloe anyway, so I should go in this way. The rubble looks pretty compact, but I'm sure that I can move something. If anything falls I can always rewind, right? But what do I move? There's a large prominent piece of wood stuck in there that looks moveable. It's close to the ground. There's a block of stone that looks heavy, but moveable. It's pretty high up there. Finally, there's a fallen tree that I may be able to move. It's a tiny tree and it's on the ground.

Moving the piece of wood looks like it will be the easiest, so I should do that. I walk over to the piece of wood jutting out from the rubble. It looks moveable, but it's still stuck in there. I grab the wood and start to pull. It budges a little bit, but it doesn't come out. I pull on it again, this time nothing happens. How am I going to get this out? More than half of the plank is sticking out, maybe I could put some weight on it. I don't know what that would do, but it's better than just giving up. I get up onto the piece of wood and put all of my weight onto it by jumping.

Crack. The wood cracks and splits in half. I fall with the wood and land on my feet, as the wood wasn't very high up to begin with. I can feel the recoil in my feet. The rubble starts to move slightly, then things start to fall. Wood and small pieces of stone fall onto the ground from above me. The big block of stone wobbles and falls down, right above my head! I have to rewind before it hits me!

I could always try moving the block of stone. It shouldn't be too hard, I mean I can always rewind if something bad happens. But, how am I going to reach it? It's really high up in this pile. I look around for something to use to reach it. There's a big tree, but it wouldn't be very safe trying to climb it, because it may not be secured into the ground after the storm. I look down. Great, this is hopeless. My shoe's untied too. I kneel down and start tying it back into a little bow. Hey, whats this? A line of rope trails off for a little bit into the grass, then circles back around, going into the pile. I might be able to use that to get the block down. I grab the rope and pull it all in towards me. It must be caught on something, because it's not moving. I pull as hard as I can, and the pile topples and creates an entrance. I fall down onto the pavement. "Wowser." I say quietly. I can't believe that created an entrance. What was the rope even connected to anyways? Doesn't matter, now I can go in.

I bet I can move that tiny tree. It looks like it's pretty light, plus it's on the ground, but that might mean it has a lot of weight on it. I get down on the ground and grab the tree. Ok tree, you're gonna have to work with me here, ok? I pull the tree as hard as I can. Nothing happens. Damn, you must be really stuck in there, little tree. How am I going to get you out? I grab the tree and pull on it again. Nothing happens again. I guess it does have all of the weight on it or something, because I can't get it out.

Next part
I go through the tiny entryway in the rubble. I hope it doesn't collapse on me. Even though I can rewind, I have to be quick so I don't get hurt. It's surprising kind of hollowed out in here, though I don't know how long that's going to last. Let's see, where are you, little shirt? Any shirt will do. Hopefully there's at least one shirt here. In fact, it doesn't even have to be a shirt. A bandage would definitely do the job. I walk through the semi-hollow rubble pile. I can kind of see where some of the rooms are, or were. They're not really separate rooms anymore. I go into the one that looks the sturdiest. There's a ripped poster of Albert Einstein close to the entrance. It's safe to say this is Warren's room. I hope he's ok. He wasn't at the diner.

The room is completely destroyed. The windows are broken, glass is everywhere, it's partially caved in, the bed is flipped over and almost destroyed, and the dressers are all broken. I walk over to one of the dressers. Alright shirt, are you here? I move some of the broken wood. Hmm, nothing here. I go over to the second dresser. It's the only other one here, so there better be a shirt here. I open the only drawer that's still intact. Aha! I found you, little shirt. I pull the folded shirt out of the dresser. It still looks like it's in good condition. I unfold it and look at it.
