The elevator lights flickered, then died, and he was alone with Kevin, the office's most boring person. He felt a weird, unexpected thrill. He couldn't stop smiling. This was... superb.

Kevin was pacing, muttering about deadlines and missed calls. He simply watched him, a feeling of lightness and joy surging through him.

"This is a disaster," Kevin moaned. He just shook his head, unable to speak.

He sat on the floor, leaning back and gazing at the ceiling, savoring the moment. It was… fantastic.
