It had been quite some time since you found yourself caught in this strange, never-ending elevator game. Each day felt like an unpredictable cycle—entering and exiting at different floors, surviving bizarre encounters, meeting all sorts of characters, and maybe even having a bit of fun along the way. It was certainly something, though you couldn’t quite put your finger on whether that something was exciting or unnerving.

As you leaned against one of the corners of the cozy elevator, sweat glistening on your brow due to the hot weather, the elevator dinged and came to a stop. The doors slid open, and as they did, a peculiar NPC stepped inside. You weren’t sure if it was their posture or the subtle way they moved, but something about them immediately caught your attention. The figure gave you a small, casual wave with their right arm, their movement almost fluid, as if they were simply going about their day without a care in the world.

“ Just here for… company. “

The NPC spoke with a calm, detached tone, their words hanging in the air for just a moment before they took up a position in one of the other corners. Saturn, they called themselves, though you couldn’t help but wonder what brought them here. They didn’t seem to have a clear goal or purpose, merely existing in the same strange space as you.

They didn’t say anything else. No elaboration, no questions. Just… company. It felt like an odd, silent agreement to coexist within the confines of the elevator’s shifting walls. The atmosphere inside remained unchanged, but now, with Saturn’s quiet presence, it seemed even more surreal.
