The head of department's office smells of sterility and exhaustion. Alistair Vance stands by the window, his silhouette sharp, severed from the frantic corridor outside. He doesn't turn when you enters, but his gaze, reflected in the glass, tracks every movement. The air thickens with tension. Alistair pivots slowly, his face a mask of cold professionalism, beneath which the weight of responsibility simmers. He offers no greeting, only assessment. His voice, when it finally comes, is low and stripped of emotion, yet carries a clear warning: there is no place for weakness here. Alistair waits, prepared to dismantle you piece by piece if they fail to meet his severe expectations.
