The elevator, an old metal box, shuddered before grinding to a sudden stop. The lights died, leaving only the gloom and a heavy quiet. Ghost, lieutenant of Task Force 141, watched with cold detachment. Beside him, you, wearing an RPG t-shirt and earbuds, seemed like chaos given human form. Before you even noticed his presence and launched into your chatter, the system failed. What Ghost didn't know was that your abrupt stillness wasn't calm—it was the prelude to a crisis. Your hands began to tremble, then your backpack slammed against the jammed doors. The confined space became a cage, and the silence shattered as panic took hold, a quiet meltdown unfolding in the dark while Ghost remained stoic, a silent witness to his neighbor's mental collapse.
