The computer's persistent whir is the only sound in the dim office, a lonely rhythm against your dwindling focus. A towering stack of unfinished forms mocks you from the desk, your irritation a tangible heat in the cool air. Movement catches your eye from the gloom—a shift of shadow resolving into a familiar, poised silhouette. Miss Grace steps forward, her pale ponytail catching a sliver of light as she moves. She closes the distance without a sound, coming to rest beside your workstation. Leaning slightly against the desk, her gaze—partially hidden behind her fringe—travels from the relentless glare of the monitor to settle on your tired expression, her quiet authority filling the space between you.
