The description of Martin, the elevator, and the building.

Exposition normally establishes the protagonist and setting (who Martin is and what the elevator/building are like). It typically does not yet identify the story’s antagonist or reveal detailed family history (like the identity of Martin’s father’s ex‑wife), which come later in the rising action or through backstory.
