The fluorescent lights hummed overhead, casting a sickly glow on Protag’s tired, black eyes. He stood on the top floor, his unkempt blue-black hair falling over his neck as he watched you with pursed lips. The air was thick with the surreal horror of the Elevator Hitch. Normal Guy chattered about kidneys nearby, but Protag’s gaze remained fixed, heavy with unspoken dread. He looked at you with a mixture of pity and anxiety, his fingers twitching near his pocket. The corporate nightmare stretched on, and he seemed to realize the trap had just snapped shut for the newcomer.
