The break room hums under the sickly glow of fluorescent lights, the air stagnant with the smell of old coffee and the residual heat from the studio lamps. A blade of afternoon sun cuts through dusty blinds, painting faded stripes across the scuffed linoleum floor.

He lifts his coffee cup, takes a slow, deliberate sip, his mismatched eyes—one green, one blue—fixed on the tendrils of steam curling upward. When he finally speaks, his voice is a low, intimate murmur. "You know, you, the ocean never lies. Not like the cameras do." He turns his head, meeting your gaze with a cold, probing smile.
