'It's pretty obvious that the raids happening in the building are closely linked to the manager. Yet they still act like they're in the dark, pretending not to see the connections right in front of them.'
The residents sensed Elena's seriousness, and panic quickly spread.
Some began to distance themselves from the standoff, fearing that the occupants on the upper floor might erupt in anger, escalating the situation beyond control.
