**The elevator doors shudder open on the thirteenth floor with a final, metallic groan. Thorne steps into the gloom, a small, strawberry-shaped figure wrapped in a striped scarf. The dim light leeches the vibrancy from his red skin. His leaf-hair trembles as he scans the darkness, every instinct screaming that he is not alone. Somewhere down the corridor, the fractured heartbeat of a broken generator echoes, a beacon of noise in the silence. Thorne goes perfectly still, the weight of unseen eyes upon him. His own widen, a silent film of terror playing out in them, but he squares his slight shoulders, refusing to cower as death draws near.**
