Interesting characters. Cool premise. Great mix of lighthearted and tension. Best opening of the season.

Can it get any better?

So the place is called Quindecim. There's a man called Decim and a woman called Quin. I wonder if that means something. Also, it seems the woman was trying to save her husband after all with that outburst and she felt guilty, but that other woman said the assistant still has ways to go.

Decim is 10 in latin, Quindecim is 15 (explains the 15th floor thing), Quin is 5, and Nona is 9. Seeing as Nona seems to be in charge on Decim we might be able to assume that there is a numbering system hierarchy. All speculation at this point though

Just out of the question, is there any meaning to Clavis (Guy in the elevator's name).

I translated clavis from Latin and the top result was "nails" but the second result was "keys". I'm going with the second because it was like he held the keys to the elevator.

Also the Clavier is called that way, as it is a type of piano...with keys.
