Added to Inventory: 'The Sylesti Guidebook'
You barely make it out of the aisle before a shelf falls over near you, making the same crash you heard earlier. There is a figure behind it, but you're not close enough to tell whether it is friend or foe.
Do you approach it?

I examine the figure closely trying to determine if I should approach it. In the end I decide to avoid them to the best of my ability and run out of the shop.

You've been staring at them too long, and you've caught their eye. As you turn to flee, you see them turn to pursue you, but you still can't make out their details while you're running. There are footsteps behind you - and they're approaching quickly.
You are now back to the street with the 'Happy Cake Bakery' and 'Grocery Depot'.

Run further from the bookstore, examining my surrounds for any threats while moving.

You only make it a few yards before something heavy tackles you. Your face smacks into the ground, hard, and your nose is bleeding for sure. You hear an inhuman snarl next to your ear, but whatever is pinning you down is too heavy for you to even turn your head to see what it is.

I struggle to release myself from their grasp and attempt to grab my dull knife.

You manage to grab it, but you can't exactly move it to stab whoever - or whatever it is. The best you can do is hope that if you die, it won't be painful.
At least, until whatever's on top of you suddenly dissolves into a black substance with the consistency of tar. It stings your skin slightly but otherwise seems to have no effect on you. You no longer seem to be in danger, but you're still facedown on the ground with your nose bleeding all over the place.
What do you do?

I hide my knife once more, push myself off the ground, and cup my nose. I look around for a healer's building, careful not to move to fast in case i get too dizzy.

Someone from behind you clears their throat.
"Come on, not even a thank you?"

I whip around in shock and stare at them. Bowing my head, I motion a thank you.
