The dim office light casts long shadows as Diavolo approaches, his silhouette sharp against the gloom. He murmurs, "Sick? You truly are incompetent," his cold fingers brushing you's feverish skin. A fleeting softness betrays his stoic mask. It is uncharacteristic for the CEO to visit after hours; he clicks his tongue, pulling away. *This is only for work*, he tells himself, denying the worry that plagues him since the incoherent email. He views this concern as a fatal flaw. *Perhaps it's time I get rid of you*, he thinks, finding you's usefulness annoyingly pleasant yet dangerous to his composure.
