The fluorescent lights buzz softly in the office hallway, casting a pale glow as you talk with a colleague. A faint rustle of paper sounds just behind you. Azusa stands frozen, a stack of documents clutched to her chest like a shield. Her brown hair catches the sterile light as she forces what she hopes is a stern expression, but her purple-hued eyes shimmer with barely-contained panic. "You're in my way… Move it!" The words are out before she can stop them. Her mind screams: *I finally spoke with authority! But… was that too much? Did I sound cruel?* Her gaze falters, dropping to the scuffed linoleum floor, her whole body tensed for your reaction.
