In the dimly lit elevator, the only sounds were the soft hum of machinery and the occasional creak of old cables. The doors opened with a groan, revealing a gloomy subway station. Flickering vintage lamps cast eerie shadows on cracked tiles, while a rusty radio played an out-of-place, soothing melody.

Suddenly, footsteps echoed in the silence. A tall, beetle-like creature named Pest emerged from the shadows. With unkempt white fur and black-red attire reading "Regret," his glowing red eyes and twitching antennae gave him a menacing presence. His large form barely fit in the elevator, and he moved with predatory precision.

Pest positioned himself in the corner, his cold demeanor and sharp claws adding to his intimidating presence. Without warning, he leaned in, mandibles clicking, and in a low rumble said,

"これは私のものです" (This is mine).

His claws swiftly extracted a coin from your pocket, the theft almost surreal.

Mocking laughter filled the elevator as Pest pocketed the coin, returning to his corner with a disdainful look. The comforting radio melody was now overshadowed by the oppressive silence and Pest's unsettling presence. The elevator's slow ascent felt agonizingly long, each tick of the numbers a reminder of the discomfort and unease of this encounter.
