Mr. Ballin

And so it was kind of like they had no idea what to do. But clearly this crisis was only getting worse and worse and worse. And so Umar felt like he had no more options. He couldn't leave his apartment. He couldn't afford to do that. And so they were just stuck in this place that seemed toxic.

But all that would change on June 25th, so two and a half weeks after they came home from that trip, because on this day, Umar discovered something about that chemical smell they caught right when they came back in after the trip. You know, the smell that all the people that had come into the apartment had sort of noticed but couldn't identify.

On June 25th, Umar figured something out about that smell. And so on this day, Umar was in his apartment feeling completely miserable, as was his wife and his daughter who were in the bedroom. But at some point, Umar suddenly caught a whiff of that weird chemical smell.

And as soon as he smelled it, he sort of began to cough and he was about to call his landlord and be like, hey, I smelled it again. But he decided on this day, instead of calling anybody else, he was going to run an experiment of his own.

And so instead of trying to get away from the smell, Umar began smelling in the air as deep as he could to try to kind of figure out where the smell was coming from. And so he began walking around his apartment, sniffing the air, kind of tracing the smell. And slowly but surely, he began kind of following the smell through his kitchen, down the hallway, all the way to his front door.

And when he got to his front door, he smelled in again and he could tell the smell was the strongest right now. And so feeling a sudden jolt of adrenaline, he grabbed the door, flung it open, half expecting to see like a chemical cloud floating in the air in the hallway. But as soon as he opened the door, there was nothing outside.

And when he smelled in the hallway, you know, the smell wasn't really there anymore. And so we kind of looked around for a second, feeling kind of silly. And then he shut the door and he was about to just go back into his apartment and just kind of accept that once again, I got no idea what's going on here.

Then he stopped and he turned back around and looked at the actual door, like the actual front door of his apartment. And he began smelling the door and the door definitely had the chemical smell. And so he began smelling and tracing his hands all over this door, not even sure what he was looking for. But eventually he worked his way all the way to the bottom of the door.
