  Cryan is looking around the elevator for any clues or details to pass the time. He sighs when the timer on the elevator hits to 0. The elevator lights suddenly close down and the doors open to an elevator shaft. Puzzled, he walks out, to meet a voice from a radio.

"[!] POWER OUTAGE CODE 872 [!]
PLEASE OVERRIDE POWER USING SWITCH AT THE TOP OF THE ELEVATOR SHAFT ."

" Huh? " Cryan looks up with confusion, then thinks of a solution. He quickly climbs up the red ladder. " Maybe there is something up there. "

Some elevators crash onto him, making him retreat to the corners to recover from his injuries.

...

" Clark, isn't that stealing? " He tries to stop his friend from stuffing snacks into his school bag.

" ( ??? ), it is not a crime if no one catches you. " His friend grins at him as he continues to stuff snacks. Suddenly, he feels an intimidating aura behind him.

" Hey, are you gonna pay for that? " The cashier behind gives them a glare.

" S-sorry, miss... " He apologizes to her.

...

" Umph... What was that... " Cryan stands up to stretch himself and continues to climb his way up. At the top, he looks around to find something, when he sees a lever across him. He thinks of jumping over, but in the end, he crosses over to pull the lever.

The voice appears again.

"ELEVATORS HAVE BEEN STOPPED.
REDIRECTING POWER TO THE REGRETEVATOR..."

" That's the elevator's name? " Cryan asks himself as he is teleported back to the elevator. He takes a step before tumbling down in pain. " Ouch... I guess the pain is not gone yet... "

He lies down onto one of the elevator's corners and slowly closes his eye.

...

Everyone in school is always laughing at this boy. They say that he cries a lot and they sometimes think that he fits to be a sad clown.

I feel bad for him, but my friend is unfortunately one of the everyone laughing. He did say that he feels bad for the crying boy, he only said that he is contaminated by everyone's laughter for this boy.

Maybe I'm not the only one who feels bad for him too, the popular girl also looked at him with worry.

I heard from my father that being sad is stupid, but... I don't think so.

...

I look at my friend talking to his friend at a skating park. In television shows or movies, the skating parks are very popular, but here, it's empty. My friend then laughs at something his friend said, which made him a bit angry.

" Hmph! You don't know about the Internet! " His friend waves his arms into air, maybe to show something.

" Well you stayed inside just to make cringe videos. " My friend gives him a side-eye. " You should hang out with us often instead of skating or making videos! "

" Didn't you remember the time we were almost caught stealing snacks from a store? " I reminded my friend about that moment, which made him look to me.

" Hahaha! XD " His friend laughs.

...

Cryan opens his eye to a Robloxian waving his hand to him with excitement. The Robloxian wears a pink shirt labeling ' TOUGH GUYS WEAR PINK '.

" H-hi? My name is Cryan- " Cryan greets the Robloxian. The Robloxian looks to him with excitement, reminding him of Poob.

" H4I, M4H N4ME IS INF3CT3D, TH3 C00L3ST SK4T3R!! " Inf3ct3d introduces himself to Cryan, which makes him impressed.

" Cool. Where did you learn them from? " Cryan asks him a question about skateboarding, making Inf3ct3d a bit proud.

" I L34rnt 1T fr0m YT! " Inf3ct3d answers Cryan's question, when he sneezes, making Cryan back away.

" Do you have a tissue, or a handkerchief with you? " Cryan asks Inf3ct3d with worry.

" I f0rgo. " Inf3ct3d replies after he checks his pockets.

" ... It's okay... Just keep your distance away from other Robloxians. " Cryan reminds him before he looks at the elevator's timer.

The elevator doors open to a huge room with a stage. Cryan and Inf3ct3d takes a look outside before Cryan walks out. He tells Inf3ct3d to stay inside.

A Robloxian wearing a purple suit and a purple top hat stands on the stage with her red hammer. She looks at Cryan as he walks closer to the stage.

" Hello there, Robloxian. Want me to give you a reward? " The Robloxian greets him. Cryan looks back to the elevator to see Inf3ct3d nodding at a fast speed. The Robloxian grins at Inf3ct3d, then looks to Cryan.

There are 12 sections with 4 colors on the wheel, one red labeling ' death ', one purple labeling ' reroll ', one blue labeling ' fun ' and one green labeling ' special '. Cryan looks closely to the wheel before he slowly nods. The Robloxian smiles at him and looks at the wheel.

" Let's get this show started. " The wheel starts to spin after the Robloxian announced her words.

...

" 1s Th3 wH33l 0k? It's b33n sp1nn1ng s1nce le1k3, 3 r3rolls. " Inf3ct3d yawns as he watches the wheel spin, while Cryan focuses on the spinning wheel. The Robloxian sighs and looks at her tiny clock.

" It's gonna take a long time... What's your name? My name's Mach. " The Robloxian introduces herself to Cryan, which makes him takes his eye off the wheel.

" My name is Cryan, inside the elevator is Inf3ct3d. " Cryan introduces himself and Inf3ct3d, who waves to her.

Mach looks to Cryan, while he is talking to Inf3ct3d about something.

" Have you ever had dreams about being in someone's life? " Mach asks Cryan a question. Cryan is a not convinced, yet, he nods.

" It usually means that you have some unfinished business... I wonder if you have something to- " Mach continues when the wheel hits to the ' fun ' section. " Oop, be prepared for this, Cryan. "

" W-what- " Cryan tries to ask Mach when more red glowing balls bounce around the walls, some hitting him. Mach looks to door and yells someone's name out, not heard by Cryan as he is dodging the red balls.

" Good luck finding out, Cryan. " Mach tells Cryan as he limps to the elevator. He turns to her and thanks her for the information before he limps back. In the elevator, a sad caterpillar looking clown is sobbing at one of the elevator corners.

" Are you ok? " Cryan asks him a question.

" I-it's okay... I'm always like this. :0( " The clown wipes his tears off. " M-my name is Pilby... "

" My name is Cryan and this is Inf3ct3d. " Inf3ct3d waves quickly to Pilby as he is introduced by Cryan.

" I-I hope I can make you two happy... " Pilby wipes his tears off.

" It's okay, Pilby, you are enough. " Cryan comforts Pilby while Inf3ct3d is singing some songs in a quick speed.
