You approach the staircase, but it moves away from you. You start running, but it just keeps sliding away, maintaining the exact same distance. You run and run until you're completely exhausted, but the stairway keeps being just a few feet away, almost taunting you.
You take a moment to catch your breath. When you look up, that guy is sitting in front of the stairway again.
