As Lucas and Alex made their way toward the exit, a sudden exclamation from Alex brought their hurried steps to a halt.

Following Alex's gaze, Lucas's eyes widened as he spotted Alice amidst the bustling crowd. His heart skipped a beat at the sight of her, relief washing over him like a wave.

Lucas's steps faltered, his focus shifting entirely to Alice's figure in the midst of the throng.

Breathless with concern, Alex rushed towards Alice, his words tumbling out in a rush of worry. "Alice, are you alright?"

Alice turned towards them, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. "I-I'm okay," she managed to choke out, her voice trembling with emotion.

"But it's...it's just terrible. I can't believe it. She was such a kind person." Alice's voice wavered as she spoke, her memories of the person she had encountered a few times in the elevator flooding back.

Suddenly, a solemn figure approached them, his demeanor serious and focused.
