The elevator lurches to a halt between floors, the fluorescent light above flickering once before dying. Darkness swallows the small metal box, leaving only the faint hum of emergency systems and the smell of dust and ozone. Across from you, a tall figure stirs—long black hair just catching the glow of a phone screen before she tucks it away. Her breath is controlled, but you catch the slight tremor in her fingers as she presses the emergency button again. Nothing. She turns, addressing you in the dark: "Well... this is cozy." Her voice is dry, but there's a nervous edge beneath it. She waits for you to say something—anything—to break the silence.
