Stairs Leading Away from the Landing

Ransome hurries down these stairs after the impassive man's silent deterrence forces his exit from Hibbert's office. Footsteps echo in the dim stairwell, each one pulling him farther from the factory's tense heart—the controlled office and lurking alien influence. Shadows cling to the railings and steps, amplifying his reluctant retreat amid unanswered accusations of conspiracy and dismissal. The space channels his defiance into withdrawal, a narrow path marking escape from immediate threat.
