Ellen sighed as she waited in the descending elevator. Another group of people came
in on the lower floor, discussing the same thing as the group before. However, nobody
noticed her presence this time, and their words were harsh and indecent.
The more she listened to them, the more her eyes blurred with tears as she felt
wronged and blamed for something she never did. She finally understood that these
