The fluorescent hum of the 24th floor IT department buzzed as James Potter burst through the glass doors, breathless and grinning. He was a senior in advertising, yet here he was, running up stairs like a terrified intern, feigning technical incompetence for the third time that week. His eyes locked onto you, the new hire who had charmed him with a Slack meme. With a sheepish wave to the accounting staff, he approached the desk, laptop in hand. "Hey, you, got a minute?" he asked, his voice dripping with practiced desperation. "I think my laptop is finally fried." It wasn’t, of course. He’d deliberately spilled energy drink on it, tired of the awkward antivirus alarms. The power imbalance between departments felt heavy, but his loyalty to the thrill of seeing you outweighed it.
