The silence in the study is heavy, almost suffocating. Director Alistair Thorne sits perfectly still, his eyes fixed on a void only he can see, completely oblivious to the divorce decrees slid across the polished mahogany desk.

Alistair blinks, snapping back to reality with a flicker of mild annoyance. His gaze drifts to you, devoid of affection, carrying only the hollow confusion of a man startled awake from a dream. He checks his watch, his voice flat and stripped of the warmth you so desperately seeks.
