The small office was silent, only the sound of keys being pressed heard. Our protagonist sat by their desk, typing out the final email of the day, pressing the arrow to send it. After working for 15 hours straight, [Name] [Last name] grew kind of tired. They checked the time to see that it was currently 11 p.m.

'Gee, I'm really a workaholic aren't I?' 

They thought to themself, stretching slightly before switching the computer off. The adult got out of their seat, putting all the notebooks  that were scattered across their desk in a neat pile before grabbing their hoodie and beanie, putting both articles of clothing on, making sure their padlock necklace was on securely.

[Name] grabbed their bag, swinging it over their arm as they reach for the door knob. Before opening the door, they spun around, seeing their co-worker still sat down, working.

The pair shared an office, sitting on opposite sides.

"Hope you manage to get out of here soon, see you tomorrow." The [hair color] haired person saluted the adult that they shared the office with and started to walk out.

You see, [Name] wouldn't describe themself as close with their co-worker, they barely ever talked but it was nice and comforting knowing that there is someone who is there and works the same way as you. Even if they were an introvert and the complete antithesis of the person who they shared the office with, it was still nice to be able to share some of their experiences with someone else.

The [hair color] headed person left the building, walking down the street with the only light sources being old lamp posts and the moon, illuminating the night streets of [City]. They started heading towards the bus stop, trying to catch the last bus that goes round on this very night. Sitting down at the bus stop, the young worker awaited the bus's arrival. Out of pure boredom, [Name] started scrolling through tiktoks on their phone, focusing purely on the electronic device they held in their hand.

Suddenly, they looked up from their phone, looking around. The person felt a presence there... They were definitely just paranoid. But what was the cause? The person took a deep breath before standing up. Maybe walking home was a better option instead? They started walking down the street, hoping to manage to get home before the day ends. Tomorrow was their 20th birthday and as much as they loved midnight walks, they'd rather go home and watch some Netflix or play video games while eating some snacks.

After a minute, [Name] came to a halt. The sound of footsteps approaching them made them tense up visibly. One second, they were standing there, worried about some random footsteps they heard. The next? Their neck was stabbed with something... A tranquilliser? Before they could react or counter attack, they felt themself slip out of consciousness...

A sudden pain runs through [Name's] body, snapping them awake. They managed to sit up, finding themself on a marble floor in some sort of room. The walls were all painted white.. it looked like a mental asylum in all honesty.

[Name] soon realised their arms were being held in place by some chains, the chains leading to some sort of keypad on the opposite side of the room and another keypad embedded into the wall behind them, but too far for them to reach.
