The Departure Lounge
Puzzle
At 11:45 PM, her voice echoed in the darkness: 'Wait for me. I'm almost there.'
I clutched the withered rose she had left for me this morning, staring into the void.
Time feels incredibly heavy here, dragging like lead.
Fifteen minutes later, a sharp, continuous electronic drone—*beeeeeep*—pierced the silence.
I knew she had finally arrived.
But as a brilliant light opened up beneath my feet, I wept in despair.
I knew I would never see her again.
What happened?
