The warp circle emptied out above the water near land. Both you and the woman crawled on to , what looks like New york City. 

You look at the woman. She is short and dirty blond. Her feet and hands are large for her body. But she doesn't have a happy face on her. "You idiot!" She choked. She could barely breathe, partly due to the water she was choking on, but mostly because of her new found allergies. You pull out your inhaler, and put it to her mouth. You squeeze it, and she inhales in. She breathes normally. "Thanks." Then she slaps you. 

"Ouch! Why didn't you go to the doctor for your breathing? They could have given you an inhaler." You say.

"I don't need a stupid machine to make me normal."

"Its going to make you live longer." You say.

"Why did you push me off the raft? You were supposed to come with me!"

"Supposed to?"

"Now we are, who knows where, doing who knows what. And where is everyone?"

She was right. Ninety percent of people walking around New York were gone. It was like everyone just packed up and left.

"What should I call you?"

"Velcro."

"Velcro? like the fasteners on shoes?"

"Seriously? Now you are making fun of my name? Are you serious? First, you force me off the raft off our proper directional path, then you push us through a loose roaming vortex, and then to an obvious alternate New York, and finally you force me to use that disgusting inhaler-"

"I saved you from dyspnea, and suffocating. You're welcome."

"I didn't ask you to save me. I don't need saving, or anything else from anyone. All I need is myself."

"Fine. I'll just let you die next time."

"F-wait!" Velcro's demeanor changed immediately. "Didn't we decide we are in New York?"

"Yea, so?"

"I smell something that you can't get anywhere else in the world."

"What, food mixed with urine?"

"Close."

You know what she smells and wants. You have been to New York, and you don't like eating too much pizza because it is unhealthy. Obviously Velcro isn't as worried about her health as you are.
