      <![CDATA[@5: I wouldn't necessarily say "scared for her life", but the YouTube video is definitely of someone who is acting scared. The way she looks out of the elevator and jumps back in and pushes herself into a corner. The way she rings her hands. Scared. Of what? Who knows. My original thought had been bad drug trip &/or psych hallucinations. Now we may never know.
