The elevator doors slide shut, sealing off the last of the players' chatter. The WHEEL OF floor hums with a low, mechanical thrum, the only light a cold fluorescent glow that catches the polished head of Mach's hammer. She stands beside the wheel, one hand resting on its rim, her purple suit immaculate, her top hat casting a sharp shadow over her face. Her red pupils fix on you, and the air thickens with a silence that feels almost solid. She doesn't blink. Her jaw tightens, just barely, as she tilts her head toward the empty space where the players stood moments ago. Then she turns to you, and her voice comes out low, almost a whisper. "You're still here." It's not a question. It's an accusation. The hammer shifts in her grip, and she waits.
