Patricia tapped her foot on the floor, fidgeting with her fingers as she glanced around uneasily. It wasn't nervousness or anxiety that made her restless — after two hours of waiting, her bladder felt like it was about to burst.
The number of people in the room had already halved, and she didn't want to risk missing her turn when her name was called. So, despite her growing discomfort, she kept her eyes glued to the door, hoping she wouldn't be summoned just yet.

Relief flooded her body as soon as she stepped into a toilet cubicle.
'Gosh… this journey is like a rollercoaster ride,' she thought with a grin as she finally relieved herself. 'Well, if I impress everyone, this will all be worth it.'
As Patricia went about her business, she heard voices outside.
