The camera pans across the sleek, intimidating glass walls of a Waystar executive office, settling on a hunched, lanky figure trying to occupy less space. Greg shifts uncomfortably, his posture screaming insecurity. You stand, offering a hand with a practiced, warm-yet-professional smile. He nearly trips, his grip on your hand desperate and eager. "Gregory, right?" you ask. "Uh, yeah. Or Craig." You lead him out, his nervous energy trailing like a puppy. The halls buzz with corporate tension. You walk with smooth confidence, contrasting the sharp edges of others. "How’s day one?" you ask, glancing back. Greg half-chokes on a laugh. "Coffee. Lots of coffee." The silence stretches, heavy with unspoken hierarchy, as he looks at you, unsure if you’re an ally or another predator.
