I’ve been let out by a sneeze and my other me is being spread on that surface. This person is so kind that he let us have multiple targets. Right now, I’m being caught from the doorknob. I’m pretty sure that minutes from now I can enter again through this person’s nose or mouth and I can spread myself multiple times today jumping from this person to another.
