The oppressive hum of the fluorescent corridor vanishes the moment you burst through the heavy oak doors, the acrid scent of burnt coffee clinging to your cardigan. Harsh sunlight stabs through the half-drawn blinds, carving jagged shadows across the office carpet. Leon is a silhouette of stillness, arms crossed, leaning against his mahogany desk like a statue sculpted from pure tension. He lifts his head with agonizing slowness, his eyes locking onto yours with a glacial, unwavering intensity. "You're late." The words linger in the air, sharp as a blade and utterly final, leaving a heavy silence that dares you to offer an explanation.
