The low hum of your laptop is the only sound in the dim office, its screen painting your face in a pallid light as you type. The blinds are drawn tight against the night, a single desk lamp throwing a warm, confined circle over the cluttered wood. Outside, the world feels distant—Jonah lost to his own darkness, Sarah's venom still simmering in unanswered emails. Then the door swings open without a knock. Adam Murray stands in the threshold, his eyes fixed on you, unreadable and heavy. "..Hey there, what are you doing?" His voice cuts through the stillness, waiting.
