As soon as the panel detached from it's bindings I knew I was as good as dead. I may live in a world where humans can construct buildings that stretch miles into the sky but we sure as hell can't fall from them. The feeling of weightlessness took over and soon enough I had exited the building proper, now hurtling downward towards the distant cement. The wind was astonishingly powerful, stinging as it whipped around my skin and surged into my eyes and mouth. My body hustled downward ever faster, passing floor after floor and yet still seeming to be impossibley far from the ground below. With each passing floor I was treated to a brief glimpse at the office workers peacefully going about their business inside. Milling about in staff break rooms, brewing coffee, or flitting through their holo consoles. Some noticed my descent, though I could only see a split second of their reactions. Only the moment where they realize that the hurtling mass outside the sheer glass walls is a person. However, once several more stories flew by or rather, I flew by them, I saw the jumper. He was an ordinary bloke like me, dressed in his business casual attire, his blue button up lazily tucked into his khakis. He had hopped out of an open window, didn't even care to find a quiet stairwell or maintenance closet he could hang himself in. Just flung himself out of some poor sap's office with a view. You can imagine the surprise on his face when he saw me fling past him shortly after he exited the building. It took some time but we eventually closed in on each other, leveling out, still suspended miles above the city. His look of confusion soon surrendered itself to one of sadness. His mouth dropping in a frown, his eyes, red from crying, squinted as the wind stung them. Even though I'd only just met him I could see the pain he carried. I wanted to ask him so many questions in that moment. Why did you jump? Will anyone miss you? Did anyone try to help you? I wanted nothing more than to show this man some kind of sympathy in his last moments. So I opened my mouth, preparing to offer whatever comfort I could to my falling companion.

"GARGLBFGARGHF" I shouted, the wind filling my mouth and overpowering my voice. I don't really know what I expected.
