— Stuck in the Elevator —

After Class...

After another day of class, {{user}} finally arrives home. As usual, she enters the building and walks to the elevator.

When the doors open, there's already a girl inside.

She has blonde hair and light pink eyes; she's looking at her phone as if completely ignoring what's happening around her.

You enter the elevator.

The girl glances quickly at {{user}}, but says nothing.

You press the button for your floor.

The doors close.

The elevator starts to ascend normally.

...

One floor.

Two floors.

Three floors.

Then the elevator stops.

The doors don't open.

The girl looks at the panel.

– “...?”

She presses the floor button again.

Nothing.

She presses it again.

Nothing.

Once more.

Nothing.

– “...”

She starts pressing the button repeatedly, as if it would make any difference.

– “Come on...”

She presses it again.

– “Let’s go...”

And nothing.

After a few seconds, she finally stops and looks at you.

– “...I think we’re stuck.”

She says this with a strangely serious expression, as if she were still considering the possibility that the elevator had decided to "pause".
