"I haven't been hit by lightning once! It didn't strike here until you came inside!"

The stranger's hand successfully catches his shoulder and thankfully, not the injured one, stopping him in his tracks. Huaisang's distressed cries give way to a helpless whimper as he snatches up his fallen towel and wraps it around himself again before returning to rest on the bed.

"What if it's chasing you?"

Look, it makes about as much logical sense to him as anything else that's happened thus far! Huaisang curls up in a shivering ball again. He's so cold. There has to be somewhere warmer with a sturdier roof than this somewhere!
