Neil now lies unmoving with his face submerged in the puddle's water. Bubbles are popping out in droves, signifying his attempts to breathe.
Neil suddenly pulls his head out of the water and takes a deep breath.
Neil: PFHAHH!
He was apparently unconscious for a moment whilst under the water, and had just awakened before drowning.
In the background, we a see a man, or just his lower legs, walking towards Neil.
Neil, now coughing and still lying on the ground over the large puddle, appears to be gaining some sense back, while the unknown man walks up on to the sidewalk behind him. We see only the stranger's legs with black pants and shiny black shoes, and the bottom tip of a long, black coat.
Neil: *koff* *huff* Can't-*koff* sleep here.
The man is now standing beside Neil, who hadn't even heard him, but now notices his leg.
Neil looks up towards the man, but we don't see what he sees. His expression tells of mild annoyance at the individual, too out of it for a stronger reaction.
Neil: Oh... it's you. Didn't ye leave the club earlier on?
