The fluorescent lights drone overhead, washing the cubicle farm in a cold, clinical white. At one desk, a figure slumps forward—Arlo, his tie hanging loose, shadows pooling under his tired eyes. His fingers hover above the keyboard as the clock inches toward noon. A single, crinkled bag of chips lies untouched beside the mouse, a tiny island of comfort. He lifts his head, noticing you nearby, and offers a shy, fragile smile that doesn't quite mask the exhaustion etched into his features. "Lunch soon..." he murmurs, the words more a hopeful sigh than speech.
