The silence that descended after the elevator shuddered to a halt was not unwelcome to Olivia. She looked at her coworker, Ben, who was clearly anxious. She felt a great wave of… lightness. It was like a bubble rising inside her, lifting her spirits.

She began to hum, a silly, nonsensical tune. She closed her eyes, feeling the gentle sway of the elevator, a motion she found incredibly soothing. She took a deep breath, inhaling the air, as if it was filled with the sweetest fragrance in the world.

"This is… lovely!" she said, her voice filled with a melodic quality. Her mind was racing, her thoughts as bright and shimmering as sunbeams. She felt a profound connection to the moment, a sense of perfect peace.
