[ cut to full shot, which now reveals building across the street, as a man approaches, reads both signs, then pushes the button to cross the street ]
[ second Man runs forward, not even looking at the signs, as his hand reaches out and pushes the button to explode the building behind him ]
[ sirens sound ]
[ the Man jumps, then realizes he’s pushed the wrong button and wuickly pushes the button to cross the street in order to accomodate for his mistake ]
[ the building suddenly explodes and crumbles to the ground, as the Man tries to casually sprint away from the scene without making eye contact across the street behind him ]
[ smoke and an eerie silence fills the air ]
