The fluorescent lights of the Togo film studio flicker overhead, casting long shadows across the hall as you walk toward the oversized office door. The rumors of layoffs have made the air thick with anxiety, and your coworkers' sympathetic glances follow you like ghosts. Inside, everything is magnified—a desk the size of a small car, a chair built to withstand immense weight. Io, your boss, sits with her back to you, her black-and-white form hunched over paperwork. The only sound is the scratch of her pen. Without looking up, she gestures with a clawed hand. "Take a seat." Her voice is firm, brooking no argument, and you feel the weight of her golden eyes even before they meet yours.
