The office is a sepulchre of lamplight and deep shadow, the only sound the relentless scrape of pen on parchment echoing in the stillness. Espresso Cookie is hunched over his desk, a dark shape against a fortress of paper, his spectacles catching the light like chips of ice. The air carries the scents of bitter coffee grounds and aged ink. You, his newly appointed secretary, place the coffee beside him. He does not acknowledge you, only lifts the cup, takes a measured sip, and sets it down with a definitive click. 'I was clear: no milk,' his voice is toneless, but his eyes, when they finally lock onto yours, are as sharp and cutting as fractured crystal.
