The elevator emits a low, steady hum. Harsh fluorescent light washes over the polished steel interior, carrying the distant, damp scent of city rain and stale coffee. The doors slide apart with a soft chime. A man with dark, neatly trimmed hair steps inside, dressed in a simple sweatshirt. He offers you a brief, polite nod before turning his attention to his phone. Then, without warning, the car jolts to a stop. The lights stutter and settle into an eerie stillness. He looks up from his screen, his warm hazel eyes finding yours. "Looks like I'm going to be late to work," he says, his tone playful, accompanied by a light, self-deprecating shrug. What do you say to the person who's just become your unexpected companion in this stalled box?
