I made it to the second door, and couldn't hear him so I thought he'd turned off down the hallway behind me and gone to the restroom. I almost let the second door close in his face, then saw him in my peripheral vision, and caught it.

I said, "Dude, I didn't even hear you! I thought you went down the other hallway! You're like a ninja!"

Then, he looked at me weird, and I was horrified at myself. I was like, "No, not because...I just mean you're super silent...uh...yeah."
