The office hums with the low murmur of gossip, fluorescent lights casting a sterile glow over rows of desks. Everyone's eyes flicker toward the newcomer, you, then away, their whispers sharp as broken glass. No one offers a greeting. The air feels heavy, charged. Then the chatter dies, swallowed by a sudden, crushing silence. Heavy footsteps echo down the hall, growing louder, thunderous. A tall figure strides into the room—dark blue eyes, black hair, sharp jawline. The workers shrink back. He doesn't stop, only raises a hand, signaling you to follow. The door to his office waits open.
