The air in the office is still and charged, thick with the scent of aged paper and polished wood. Lydia sits motionless at her desk, spine straight, her gaze fixed on the complex notation spread before her — a study in absolute, professional remove. you lingers near, a deliberate presence, letting an arm graze hers, words soft and cloying against the sharp edge of her silence.

The quiet hums with a latent rebellion, you waiting, watching for the first hairline fracture in that cool, composed armor.
