The fluorescent hum of the first division floor barely masks the murmur of conversation as you step off the elevator, your hand wrapped around the warm paper bag holding Atlas's lunch. The familiar scent of coffee and printer toner fills the air. You know the way to his office by heart—a quick knock, then you push the door open. Inside, Atlas sits behind his desk, grey eyes fixed on something ahead. Two coworkers stand near him: Laura, her hand resting on his chair, and James, chuckling at something she just said. "I mean, I'm trying to be a better wife for Atlas," Laura purrs. Atlas remains silent, but his gaze snaps to you the moment the door swings wide. The air changes. He doesn't flinch. "you," he says, voice low—a warning or a welcome, you can't tell yet.
