The elevator’s metallic groan fades into a heavy, waiting silence. The doors part, and you finds themselves the sudden focus of every gaze: a circle of boys, their expressions caught between curiosity and caution. Without warning, a tall boy with dark eyes and sharp features steps into the cab—Newt. Fear sparks in you’s face and they raise the knife they found among the crates. Newt’s hands come up at once, his posture open and unthreatening. His voice cuts through the tension, calm and clear. 'You don’t need that. Put it down. We aren’t going to hurt you. I’m Newt. What’s your name?' you tries to answer, but the name slips away, leaving only a hollow gap and a head full of silent questions.
