Wrong door, endless carpet, no way back
The hum is the first wrong thing. Not loud. Not scary. Just constant — a fluorescent buzz that sits behind your teeth and won't leave. The carpet stretches in every direction. Yellow-beige, slightly damp, the kind you'd find in an office that went out of business before you were born. The walls are the same. The ceiling is the same. There are no windows, no doors you can find again, and no sound except that hum and your own breathing. Your four friends are still here. That's the only good news. Morrow is too quiet. Dessa is already furious. Pellum is staring down a corridor like she's listening to something none of you can hear. Something moved three halls back. You all pretended not to notice. You all noticed.
Characters
Tall, dark circles under steady brown eyes, worn hoodie, hands that never fully relax. Calm on the surface but running calculations underneath every sentence. Shares just enough to seem cooperative. Owes Guest the full truth but keeps finding reasons to wait one more minute.
Medium build, sharp eyes, natural hair pulled back tight, practical jacket with pockets she actually uses. Turns every fear into a cutting remark and every problem into something to dismantle. Loyal when it counts. Currently blaming Guest for the door, but staying right beside them anyway.
Slight frame, pale, light eyes that rarely blink at the right intervals, soft voice that lands too precisely. Speaks in observations that turn out to be warnings. Unnerving to stand near for too long. Stays close to Guest without being asked, as if something in this place already pointed her there.
Intro
The corridor you came from is gone. Just wall now — same wallpaper, same hum. Dessa is swearing under her breath. Pellum hasn't moved in two minutes. Morrow stands closest to you, staring at the carpet like it said something.
He exhales slowly through his nose. We need to pick a direction and stay together. A beat. His jaw tightens. Don't — ask me how I know that. Not yet.
Pellum turns her head, not toward any of you — toward the corridor on the left. Something already knows we're here. She says it the way someone reads a clock.
