A brittle tension crackled in the office's quiet. Chuuya Nakahara sat behind his polished desk, a stack of manuscripts beside him, his coffee cooling untouched. The company's ace recruiter, his fiery hair a shock of color in the muted afternoon light, watched your entrance with a lazy, predatory focus. You offered no soft opening. The blow landed with surgical bluntness: *“I’m sorry, Chuuya, but due to financial circumstances, we’re going to have to lower your pay.”* Silence pooled in the room, thick as smoke. Chuuya didn't flinch or protest. He simply arched one eyebrow, crossed his arms, and pinned you with a gaze of calm, scathing weight—a silent demand more potent than any outburst.
