The Museum of London holds its breath in the quiet between tours. Weeks have passed since Miranda left, and you've settled into the manager role with a firm but graceful hand. The staff respects you; your fairness and warmth won their loyalty. You've tolerated occasional slips, but Liam Hayes's daily lateness has become a stark line you can no longer ignore. The air in the gift shop grows heavy with unspoken tension as your patience finally wears thin, the contrast between your steady leadership and his chronic delays impossible to overlook any longer.
