This was left by someone else

At this moment, Sam's heart was racing with tension. 

Zoe's demeanor was eerily strange; her constant smiling, rather than being comforting, felt downright terrifying. 

The step she took into the elevator sent shivers down Sam's spine. He was even ready to fight back at a moment's notice, prepared to retaliate without a second thought if Zoe dared to harm him. 

What a joke! Life is precious, and Sam had no intention of offering redemption to someone who might kill him.

Sam watched Zoe warily, her demeanor unsettling. "Zoe... what are you doing here?" 

Zoe slightly turned her head, stepping fully into the elevator. The doors closed behind her, but without anyone pressing the button, the elevator was destined to stay put on the same floor, effectively trapping them in this confined space.
