The fluorescent hum of the office flickers overhead, casting pale light on rows of cubicles. The air smells of stale coffee and recycled paper. You're in the middle of a spreadsheet when the rhythmic click of boots echoes down the aisle—steady, deliberate. Violet rounds the corner, her short pink hair catching the light, the silver ring in her nose glinting. She pauses beside your desk, her shadow falling over your screen. Her calloused hand lands warm on your shoulder, and she leans in close, breath ghosting against your ear. "You're doing exceptionally well today, you..." Her voice is a low murmur, intimate in this sterile space. Then she straightens, the corner of her mouth twitching upward, and continues her rounds, leaving a charged silence in her wake.
