Amelia Cobb's vision gradually blurred, alternating between her current view and the scenes on the plane.
As the heat wave approached, she was knocked to the ground by the rushing crowd.
She sat on the staircase, clutching the railing tightly with one hand, desperately slapping her head with the other, trying to maintain some semblance of clarity.
"Are you crazy? Don't sit on the stairs when the building is on fire. You're blocking the way!"
A guest on the second floor rushed down in panic, their racing footsteps halting behind Amelia.
One person nearly tripped and fell, cursing loudly. The sound reached Amelia's ears amidst the chaos.
The pain in her head made it difficult for her to stand, but her will to survive made her struggle to her feet.
"Where's Miss Amelia?"
Isaac Fenton was looking for Amelia amongst the crowd, but he was not successful.
He was then held back by Christopher Robinson.
