"Who's it?" said the man who opened the door leading to the roof, his face twisted in annoyance, eyes narrowed, and a deep scowl on his face.

He peered down, irritation bubbling within him due to the unexpected disturbance.

He waited for a response, his irritation growing with each passing second of silence.

His gaze flickered to his left, scanning the area for any sign of the intruder, but his eyes were drawn back to the crowd.

About twenty individuals stood closer to the door, their postures rigid with fear.

Cold sweat glistened on their foreheads, dripping down their bodies as they stared at the man, their faces pale with terror.

They looked as though they were confronting their worst nightmare.

A lump formed in his throat, and he swallowed hard, trying to maintain his composure.
