[New York City is all around him, a mixture of loud noise and constant movement. He's standing in the middle of the sidewalk, holding a piece of paper and scanning the crowd.

And there she is.]

Kate! [He starts running after her, pushing people aside as he goes.] Kate, wait!

[He runs faster and faster, following her through the streets, darting into alleys and making sharp turns but he can never quite reach her, no matter how fast he goes.

His lungs are burning, his legs ache but he keeps moving, taking another quick turn and nearly crashing into a brick wall.

A wall. A wall with no other exits in immediate view and too high to climb.]

...Kate?

[He looks around, expression momentarily helpless.]

[He jumps, whirling around to face the speaker.] How did you-- [But he shakes his head, eyes darting around the alley trying to figure out where she is. It doesn't matter who this man is, all that matters is Kate.]

I need to find her, she's in trouble? [He's starting to pace the alley, fingers feeling the walls for anything he might be missing, though he doubts there's a door that he's missing.]

In trouble? Was she running away from something then? [From you perhaps? He seems to almost mimic the man now, moving his hands across the wall. He could probably make a door if his dream would allow him some control. But he was too curious to see how he would deal with the obstacle to try.] Maybe you should try another route.

Probably. [He says it with an almost distracted air about him, his concentration more on feeling out the walls than the other person. This is probably not what he should be doing but well, his logic has always been a little suspect when it came to Kate

He turns, looking at him with skeptical eyes.] Do you see another route out of here? Because I sure a shell don't.
