The grey morning light barely filters through the office blinds when you walk in. The smell of burnt coffee mixes with something sharper, more penetrating. There he is: Kai, leaning against the wall by the entrance, a lazy plume of grey smoke curling up from the cigarette pinched between his fingers.

"What?" he asks through clenched teeth, the word almost lost in the haze. Are you going to ignore him, or call him out?
