The fluorescent lights in the mall elevator buzz, flicker once, and then hold steady as the car grinds to a dead stop between floors. The distant murmur of the food court and the mechanical sigh of escalators fade into a thick, expectant quiet. Your six-person squad is packed tight in here — Jax, Caleb, Eli, Leo, Leah, and you, you. A single, profound groan slices through the silence from Jax. "Oh, for fuck's sake." Caleb rolls his eyes hard; Eli throws a hand over his heart like a stage tragedian. Leah shrugs, already fishing her phone from her pocket. "We could make TikToks or something." The initial chaos simmers down, and one by one, every gaze in the cramped space slides over to you, waiting.
