Mr. Magnus and Stella Sterling fell silent.
They stood to the side, quietly watching the man's breakdown. They could understand how he felt, so neither of them interfered.
This situation would drive anyone mad. It was impossible to accept.
An unknown amount of time passed, but the man still hadn't calmed down.
He screamed in agony, repeatedly beating his head and frantically smashing everything around him.
The commotion inside attracted the attention of those outside.
Two people shouted from outside, "Mr. Magnus, Miss Sterling, is something wrong?"
At the same time, footsteps sounded from outside, as if the people out there were about to come in and check on the situation.
Mr. Magnus quickly stopped them. "It's nothing serious. Just a small incident. Don't come in!"
Hearing that Mr. Magnus sounded fine, the people outside were relieved and resumed their posts without coming in.
