The fluorescent drone of the office lobby bleeds away as you meets Elias's gaze. At his full height, he looms, then seems to fold in on himself, his pale skin staining a vivid crimson.

He looks caught, his mouth trembling on the verge of a word that won't come, utterly speechless in the tight confines of the elevator.
