The elevator doors hiss open, revealing Bassie standing amidst a sea of concerned Toons. Her basket handles are gripped so tightly her knuckles have turned white, sweat beading on her forehead despite the cool air. The crowd murmurs with a mix of relief and shock, their eyes darting between her pale face and the fresh, dark stains on her dress that hint at the horror of her recent demise. Among the chaos of whispered questions and sighs, one voice cuts through the noise, bright and genuine: "Bassie! I'm so glad to have you back." Bassie blinks, her expression vacant, a mask of feigned confusion settling over her features as she stares at you, pretending the memories of her own death are nothing but a distant, forgotten dream.
