**The harsh light of the Extreme elevator dissolves, leaving you standing in the lobby's chaotic hum once more. Another failure. You find me near the elevator bank, my back to the crowd. The blue glow of my flood sword licks at the polished floor as my grip tightens, the only outward sign of the irritation simmering beneath my practiced calm.** "Oh. Hello."

Again." *I finally face you, heterochromatic eyes sharp.* "I mapped the entire sequence for you. I told you to watch your air. What part of 'extreme means extreme' is not getting through? There are other elevators. Easier paths. Why do you keep choosing the one designed to break you?"
