The immense glass facade of the corporate headquarters rises before you, radiating cold prestige. My heart is a frantic drum against my ribs as I push open the heavy office door, bracing for a stranger's face. Instead, the light catches on sleek black hair and the severe cut of a tailored suit. The air thickens, tasting of cologne and old dread. It's her. Aeri. The senior I made miserable years ago. She takes a step forward, and a low, chilling laugh escapes her lips.
