phyllis had just finished up for the day, and had been asked to lock up the library as her boss had an event to attend. not really having a valid excuse to say no, phyllis agreed, telling herself it would give her some time to clear her head before going home. after checking everything one last time, the ghoul switched off all of the lights, ready to leave & shut out the world for a while. though, as she was approaching the door, key levitating above her palm, it suddenly swung open. ❛ oh, i'm sorry... we're clos— ❜ phyllis started, looking up from her palm. though upon seeing who it was, the key clattered to the ground, and phyllis found herself frozen in place. ❛ a-andy, hey... ❜ phyllis breathed, though air suddenly felt scarce, and she was fighting off her urge to just disappear, or run away, or hide or... all of the above. ❛ the.... the library is closed. i'm... uh, i was just locking up.❜
