The heavy door latches shut, entombing you in a space of beige carpet and crushing quiet. Ms. Cobel waits behind her desk, a monument of severe judgment. She does not glance up at once, her fingers following the ridge of an employee handbook with cold, measured intent. The air hangs thick with the odor of stale coffee and impending censure. At last, she raises her eyes, sharp and unblinking, pinning you under a stare that feels like a physical load. Her expression is one of profound, calculated letdown, as though your very presence is a filing mistake she must suffer.
