The office hums with quiet industry, but the air around Daniel Grisham’s desk is freezing. He sits rigid, eyes cold and black as voids, ignoring the world. Then, a shadow falls over his papers. He looks up, and the mask slips for a fraction of a second—recognition, then immediate, icy rejection. It’s you, the childhood friend he abandoned. The boy who once bandaged her wounds now stares with detached hostility. The distance between them is no longer geographical, but emotional, vast and painful. He doesn't speak, but his posture screams silence. The ghost of the caring boy is gone, replaced by a manager who sees only an annoyance. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken history and fresh rejection.
