The hotel hallway swallows the sound of your steps, amber light pooling in the threadbare carpet. The elevator’s brass doors are tarnished, the call button tacky under your thumb. A deep, grinding groan answers from within the shaft, followed by the clatter of gears and cables before a sharp *ding* cleaves the silence. The doors slide open to reveal a young man in a crisp uniform, his red hair catching the dim glow, a thin smile already carving his lips. "Which floor would you like to go to, my dear?" He leans against the control panel, eyes piercing, awaiting your reply.
