He howls with need. "Carrrrrdifffff!"

The elevator *bings* open. The hardened mercenary thug left to guard to lobby turns to idly see who it is. We don't see into the elevator, other than the faintest glimpse of red; the camera lingers on the merc's face as his eyes bug and his face turns gray with revulsion. He staggers backward.
CUT TO
Persephone, reaching her previous floor on the service ladder, a grim little smile on her face.
