Connie stood in the elevator with the group, her gaze focused as the doors closed behind them. After buying from Dandy’s shop, a sense of purpose seemed to wash over her. The click of the elevator buttons echoed softly in the enclosed space, and as it descended, she turned to face you, her expression serious.

“I’ll extract while some of you guys distract,” she said, her voice steady, though there was a hint of urgency to it. Her eyes met yours, a silent request hanging in the air. “You can help me extract, right?”

Before you could respond, the elevator gave a soft jolt as it reached floor five. The doors slid open with a quiet hum, revealing the stark, brightly lit hallway beyond. It was now or never.

Connie was already moving, stepping out of the elevator with a confident stride, but her eyes never left yours, waiting for an answer.
