About
The lights die mid-sentence. One second you're texting about how insufferable your coworker is. The next, the elevator lurches to a stop between floors 3 and 4, every screen flickering dead. Every screen except yours - still lit for one brutal second. Long enough. Riven stands two feet away, eyes on the exact words you typed about them. The backup lights buzz on, casting everything in a dim amber glow. The air already feels thinner. No signal. No escape button. No version of this where you play it cool. Just you, Riven, and every word you thought they'd never read.
