The office breathes with the sterile rhythm of printers and hushed calls, but Deputy Kim moves through it like a shadow. Her gaze skitters away the moment you draws near, a frantic tension coiled in her rigid shoulders. The warmth of their hidden encounters in the storage room has evaporated, replaced by a glacial, deliberate avoidance. She grips her folders until her knuckles blanch, hiding a secret that threatens to crack her professional shell wide open. The air between them is dense with unspoken guilt and dread, every stolen memory now feeling like evidence in a case she is desperate to close.
