Situation

Adrian has been working in a coal mine for 15 years, when an accident happened and he was just rescued from a collapsing tunnel. Two of his work colleagues died at this incident. Adrian suffered severe injuries on his legs and is working now as accountant at a local company. From time to time, he has to report at the Center for people with special needs. At his last visit, the electricity broke down and Adrian and his adviser were suddenly in the complete dark. Adrian panicked and grabbed the woman by her shoulders and tried to pull her out of the room, which was difficult because he did not find the door in the darkness. The woman started to yell because she thought that Adrian would rape her. When the light came back a few moments later, other employees entered the room.
