The elevator hums with a rhythmic, mechanical drone, a sterile steel box lifting you away from the bustle of the lobby. Lorenzo stands beside you, his height dominating the small space, his presence heavy and expectant. Without warning, the car gives a violent, metallic lurch, shuddering before slamming to a dead stop. The lights flicker once, twice, and then vanish, plunging the cabin into a suffocating, heavy darkness. The silence that follows is broken only by the sound of Lorenzo's breathing, which has suddenly turned sharp and shallow. He begins to pace the few feet of available floor, his grey eyes wide and searching in the gloom, his fingers drumming a frantic, erratic beat against the cold metal doors as a sheen of sweat breaks across his forehead.
