They said there is nothing worse than having a guilty conscience with you.

Well...I also feel stupid now.

And Mr.Gilbert did not do me any favor by saying...

"You both look tired. Didn't get a well sleep last night? Did you both had nightmares? Well tonight, I will prepare a calming tea to help you both to sleep..."

He is such a riot...Mr.Gilbert.

I sighed and stole a glance at the guy standing on the elevator with me. Robin is facing forward and staring quietly at the elevator doors. I am quiet too...but that's because I don't know what to say to break the ice wall that Robin seemed to place between us.

And I don't blame the guy. I mean, it's my fault if Robin seems cold and aloof this morning. I shouldn't have shouted at him last night. That was uncalled for, unnecessary and totally excessive. I don't fully know what came over me last night to act like a raving weird lunatic.

But yeah...it happened and my guilt is eating at me and I feel useless because it was all so pointless. Last night was totally pointless. I didn't get to sleep well at all. And I pulled Robin with me in my misery. I should have played it cool and took one for the team, at least that way one of us could have gotten a good night sleep.

But no, I have to be super weird about it and last night was a total disaster.

Now, Robin is broody and moody...and he doesn't want to talk to me.

Great. What a freaking fool I was. Because there's so many things I want to talk about.

"Like this elevator. What will happen if a blackout suddenly happened and this elevator stop with the two of us stuck on it?" I said loudly for no apparent reason and because I don't have total control of my brain function.

Robin turned his head and scowled at me. I slid a bit farther away from him. "I am just wondering what will happen to us if this elevator got broken or the power suddenly went out." I said with, I imagine, a little pout.

"Simple, I will get rescued and you will be dead." Robin said.

"What?" That...doesn't make any sense. "Why won't I be rescued too?"

"Because you are weak and we all know that the weak ones were the one that gets eaten first." Robin said in a matter of fact tone.

I stared aghastly at him. "You mean..."

Robin nodded. "If we got stuck here and we get hungry, we will fight and I will beat you. You are smaller, thinner and you look weaker than me that's why you will lose..."

"And you will eat me? Literally?" I find that horrifying.

Robin shrugged, "I have to do everything to survive." He said like it's just logic and I cannot do anything to contest that.

"You are a monster," I pointed a finger at him.

"And you are super weird," Robin retorted back. "For your information, this elevator won't stop working even if there is a blackout. This elevator has it's own electrical wirings and power source, stored in batteries and independent from where the whole building gets it's power. So this whole building might lose it's electricity but this elevator will keep on working for four more days until it exhaust it's batteries. Assuming that no one will recharge the batteries using the solar panels on the rooftop of this building."
