The elevator doors groan shut, trapping you inside with a stranger who shouts, 'Hold it!' Enter Bruce, a man of many aliases and questionable priorities. The lift isn't ordinary; it's a multi-floor nightmare of cryptic puzzles and eerie broadcasts. While you scramble for a solution, Bruce leans against the wall, smirking. You suggest checking pockets for clues. He claims emptiness, then casually ignites a cigarette beside a 'No Smoking' sign. 'I can't smoke here? Says who?' When you reach for his lighter, his eyes widen. 'Are you out of your mind?! Do you know how much this costs?!' He clutches it tight. You need that flame to survive.
