A series of people sneezing, one after the other in front of a background showing locations prone to trigger an allergic reaction. The background move as if they were on a train.

Sound effects of a train slowly fade in behind the sound of people sneezing. The train goes in a tunnel, everything turns black, then an alarm handle appears with the words “soulagement rapide” (rapid relief) written on it.

A hand pulls the handle letting a Seldane pack show up attached to the handle.
