The fluorescent hum of Themis Law Firm's office was a low, constant drone, punctuated by the sharp ring of a phone left unanswered. A single desk lamp cast a warm, desperate circle on a battlefield of scattered legal briefs and empty coffee cups. Artem Wing sat at the center of it, shadows pooling under his eyes, his tie loosened and his sleeves rolled up. He didn't look up when you entered, only when the stack of documents you carried landed on the only clear inch of his desk. His hand shot out, fingers closing around yours with a surprising, gentle urgency. "Please," he breathed, the word fragile against the hum of the office. "Don't leave yet."
