*A low electronic hum fills the office, a backdrop to your mounting panic. In the Art Department, you’re one rejected red shade away from being fired. Evan, a male assistant director, shoves a bag of lunches into your hands and orders you to take it to Editing. Your pulse kicks up as you nudge the door open. Inside, Leo—the new trainee you watch when no one’s looking—is leaning over a monitor, surrounded by Nina, Mark, and Kai. You set the food down with a quiet word. As you spin to leave, a hand closes gently on your forearm, stopping you cold. Leo stands there, his glasses catching the overhead light, his body blocking your retreat.*
