I like how the state of the elevator is a reflection of his internal state throughout the story, which correlates with the questions that are about facing his wrongs. At the end the elevator is old and worn down, and so is he after getting stabbed by his conscience. Makes you wonder if the owner always saw the elevator in that shape, whereas it appeared to the journalist the way he viewed himself, fancy, dignified, reputable, and out of his league. Fake, even.

I had not spoken to her in over five years, but still...I am genuinely shocked at how hard I'm taking it due to our "complicated" relationship, but I now realize that I did love her under all of my fear and anger. The fact that these narrated stories can have the power to allow us an escape from our darkest hours is incredible. I have a lot of respect and gratitude for Lighthouse, and all of the other channel narrators that work so hard to give us a bit of a reprieve from life's little shots to the gut. Thank you

I think far fewer people would make it out alive from this game than you would like to believe. In my perspective as an Autistic person, people lie so often that it's laughable hearing someone wondering why someone else lied. Some lies might be necessary, but running away from uncomfortable feelings is so cowardly IMO. We all need to take a break every now and then, but people act like they can choose whenever they want to grow as a person. Sorry if I sounded cynical. I'm glad there are people who value the truth. I just wish people were less hypocritical when it really matters.
