The Shadow of the Wind

Daniel decides he has to warn Clara, whom he knows is home alone, and take the book away from her house, where it’s stored. He runs to their apartment and unlocks the door, ignoring a homeless man who begs to sleep in the lobby.

Daniel enters the apartment and walks through the many rooms towards Clara’s bedroom, the apartment flashing in the lightning. He retrieves the book from its usual shelf in the conservatory, thinking that he will give it to the stranger to ensure his and Clara’s safety. As Daniel passes Clara’s bedroom, he hears a deep voice. Thinking it’s the stranger, he opens the door.
