??: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Levi: "Hey! Stop! Why are you screaming?"

Ahmed: "Where did you even come from?"

??: "Wait... this isn't happening... Where am I?"

Ahmed: "You're on the 8th floor."

Levi: "Hey, what's wrong—hey! Hey! Why are you suddenly on your knees?"

??: "My name's Harry... Why do you ask?" "Because I reached the end... Damn, after climbing 1,000 floors..."

William: "Wait, 1,000 what? What do you mean 7th floor? I was just on the 3rd!"

Harry: "Calm down, lady. I'm the one panicking here."

Ahmed: "Lady? I know you're frustrated, but don't take it out on him."

Harry: "Him? What are you talking about? She is—wait, what's your name?"

William: "William."

Harry: "See? She said Dalia."

Levi: "Look, man, just tell me—are you certain it's really 1,000?"

Harry: "Yeah, I'm sure. It took me a lot of energy to reach that floor. And about the 7th and 3rd floors... The tower works like this: if you're ready, you go up. If you're not, you go down."

William: "So, if someone is truly ready, even if they just entered the building, they can go straight up to the 1,000th floor?"

Harry: "That's right, Dalia. Anyway, I don't wanna keep going, so I'm out. Good luck."

William: "Harry, wait!"

Ahmed: "Plan B, then."

Levi: "Plan B it is."

William: "He's gone... Wait, what's Pla....

What are you both doing
