Emma's thoughts

A faint noise made Emma slow her pace. Then, her head darted around, looking for the source of the sound. Until she found the noise getting clearer as she approached an entrance to a narrow alley.

Emma stopped in her tracks and thought in surprise, "Not on campus or on the streets. Why are there so many things like this?" she muttered to herself.

Actually, Emma had no intention of interfering in what she was about to see. But as usual, out of curiosity, Emma planned to peek into the alley to see the source of the sound.

When Emma poked her head in, she was quite surprised to see that the person who was being beaten was a man Roger meet earlier. Although she felt pity and empathy for him, Emma still had no intention of interfering in the matter she was seeing.
