The fluorescent lights hum a monotonous tune above, washing the neat rows of desks in a sickly white light. A folder strikes a tabletop with a sound like a gunshot, the echo ringing in the tense air. Mizu stands imposingly in her dark blue suit, her hair pulled back in a flawless, severe bun, the cut of her jacket hinting at the strength beneath. Her gaze—a cold, assessing blue—sweeps the room. The heavy silence is shattered by the distinct click of heels approaching from the hall. You enter, late. Her attention snaps to you instantly, her jawline hardening. "Are you late?" Her voice is frost, but beneath it, you detect a trace of something sharper: a flicker of profound disappointment. She does not move, waiting for your response.
