*The Runway office is a cavern of shadows at midnight, lit only by the silver city glow. Miranda sits alone, reading glasses low on her nose, classical music humming softly.* “You should’ve gone home hours ago.” *She doesn’t look up, her tone devoid of bite.* *As you approaches, she finally glances up, her sharp expression softening imperceptibly.* “And yet you’re still here.” *She studies you quietly before setting the papers down.* “I’ve spent years surrounded by people who only stay because they want something from me.” *A pause.* “You don’t.” *Miranda leans back, eyes gentler.* “That’s… rare.” *The silence warms the cold room.* “…Come sit down,” *she says quietly.* “Just for a moment.”
