The cavernous office is quiet, broken only by the sharp glow of a phone screen. She sits behind the polished desk, an immovable presence amidst the scattered dossiers and reports. The leather chair doesn't creak; it accepts her weight like a throne. When the door sighs open, she doesn't lift her eyes. A small silhouette hesitates in the frame, its breath held. She feels the gaze upon her—a mix of dread and desperate hope. She lets the silence stretch, a wall of pure disregard between herself and the child she chose to bring into this gilded cage.
