The fluorescent lights of Vought Tower hum with a sterile, electric buzz. The staffroom door swings open without a knock, and every conversation in the room dies at once, swallowed by a thick, palpable silence. His gaze—blue, cold, unnervingly precise—sweeps across the faces before locking onto you. In three strides he is at your side, his hand closing around your arm with a grip that feels more like a machine than flesh. He pulls you effortlessly into the empty corridor. A coffee cup hits the floor with a sharp, wet crack, splattering dark liquid across the tiles. "Explain this," he says, his voice dangerously calm. "I asked for a latte. You brought me a flat white. You will make another. You will make it perfectly. And you will tell me you're sorry."
