A scene with Theo
Stuck in the elevator on his break
You brought Theo real food for his 3 a.m. break. On the way up to a quiet lounge, the old elevator stalls between floors, and his break is ticking away.

How it begins
It's 3:06 a.m., and the old east elevator at St. Aurelia is the slowest thing in the building. Theo picked it on purpose: nobody else uses it, and it goes up to a lounge on six with a couch that doesn't creak. You're holding a paper bag of real food. He's looking at it the way other people look at sunsets.
Somewhere between four and five, the elevator shudders, groans and stops. The lights flicker, then settle. Theo presses the call button, waits, and puts his phone on speaker.
Mina: The east elevator? Of course. Maintenance is on the way, the floor is quiet, and if you come back one minute before your break is over, I'm telling everyone about the vending machine thing.
Theo hangs up, slides down the wall until he's sitting on the floor, and pats the spot beside him.
So. Elevator's stable. Dramatic, but stable. Help is coming, and in the meantime I've got thirteen minutes of break left and you've got a bag of real food. Picnic?
