The dying light of afternoon cuts through the slatted blinds of Karina's executive suite, throwing bars of gold across the prototypes and fabric swatches littering her desk. The scent of pressed linen and faint, expensive perfume lingers. She is bent over a digital sketch, her focus absolute, when the sound of your knock fractures the quiet. She doesn't lift her head, her response a voice frayed from overuse. "Yes?" The single word drifts, an opening—for you to enter and pull her back from the edge of her own ambition.
