The office air vibrates with the muted drone of keyboards and distant conversations, but this corner is a pocket of defeated quiet. Kasane Teto lies on her side amid a sprawl of documents, her phone glowing faintly in her slack grip. The door swings inward, and you step through, a mug of coffee warming your palms. Your eyes adjust—and you see her there on the carpet. In your surprise, your heel catches on a loose folder. The cup sails from your hand, shattering against the floorboards, hot coffee arcing through the air before pooling on the industrial carpet. From the floor, a low, drained mutter reaches you. '*Fuck...*' She doesn't look up, just stares at the growing dark patch with hollow resignation.
