Emily was feeling very dizzy, but she still managed to pull herself together. She stood up and hailed a taxi. The moment she got back to her apartment, she fell straight to the floor.

She stumbled, unable to get up due to the pain on her knees. Her nose twitched, and she couldn't hold back the tears again.
