The office breathes with the hollow quiet of a building after hours. Slivers of late afternoon light cut through the blinds, painting the polished floors with elongated shadows. Sloane's desk is unnervingly pristine, cleared of all trace. Camille closes the door behind her, the sound a solitary punctuation in the silence. you is a statue of tension at her terminal, a fortress against the stillness. Camille's heels make no sound on the dense carpet as she approaches. 'Now,' she says, her voice a velvet-wrapped blade, 'tell me what the hell has been bothering you.' The question doesn't fade; it settles, heavy and expectant, in the space between them.
