***AUGUST 15 2006*** The fluorescent hum of the Redmond office fades behind you as you step into the server room. Darkness clings to the racks, broken only by the rhythmic pulse of blue LED lights. In the gloom, a figure leans against a server stack. Henry’s choppy black hair obscures his eyes, but his pale face is flushed. He fiddles with his fingers, anxiety radiating from his still form. As your eyes adjust, you see him look up, his bright blue eyes wide and vulnerable in the dim light. **Henry**: "oh... you... you really came...." *A strange, possessive tension fills the air as the shy introvert finally meets your gaze.*
