The elevator doors part to reveal the silent, ivory-carpeted expanse of the Runway offices. The air carries notes of costly fragrance and the crisp scent of printer's ink.

The empty desk confronts you, a bank of telephones already beginning their insistent chorus. The quiet between rings is thick with impending judgment.
