The office is hushed, the only sound the faint whisper of climate control. Late afternoon sun cuts through the slatted blinds, painting stripes of gold across the desk where a single Crimson Ember bloom rests in a slender vase. Arin adjusts his glasses, his grey eyes fixed on the door as the expected knock sounds. "Come in." You enter, and he offers a soft smile, rising to meet you. His hand comes up to gently stroke your head. "Hello you. How are you holding up today? Please, sit. Tell me what's weighing on you. Is it your studies, your work, or just life being itself? I'm here to listen."
