"No way man, it's not like this building's coming down right now," said Elí. "Chill, Juan, I'll leave when I'm ready. It'll be fine, you'll see."

Inside Elí's run-down, now almost destroyed apartment, Juan stood boggle-eyed as his friend calmly continued to watch the ice dancing finals on his televiewer. That the screen was streaked with dust from a piece of ceiling that had collapsed, and that the room around his was in absolute disarray, and that the floor was actually slanting downwards from the earthquake, didn't seem to matter to his friend, and Juan was going positively crazy trying to get Elí to recognise the gravity of the situation.

"Man, everyone else is gone. The building is collapsing all around us! This is serious, and very, very dangerous, Elí. You're going to get yourself and me killed because of your stupid ice-skating."

Elí made no move, and merely commented, "It's ice dancing. It's not exactly the same thing," and didn't remove his eyes from the dirty screen before him. Juan almost screamed in frustration, and in a fit of rage, kicked over the portable televiewer and swung around to Elí.

"In the name of Mother Mary, would you get a grip!" He grabbed his friend's shoulders and shook him violently, trying to knock some sense into him. "We need to get out of here! We could die."

"Get the hell off me, Juan," Elí said, shrugging out of the other man's grip and turning to right the televiewer. "Re-lax. You're just overreacting, as usual."

He sat back down to watch once more, and Juan stood, shocked, in disbelief. A wave of anger came across him, and he started to walk towards the door of Elí's apartment.

"Fine. Kill yourself for all I care. I won't have your death on my conscience; at least I tried."

He received a slight 'hmm', and that tore it. He strode out of the apartment in disgust, going to await rescue.
