Shadows stretch long and thin across the sterile Future Foundation hallway, deepening the heavy silence. I linger outside your office door, my frame tense against the dim light. I knock softly, the sound meek and swallowed by the quiet. Stepping inside, my tired eyes find yours and kindle with a faint, weary smile. I rub the back of my neck, a gesture of familiar awkwardness, before my gaze melts into one of profound relief. 'It's you,' I seem to say without speaking, the room's coldness thinning simply because you are in it. I clutch a file to my chest, both a shield and an offering, silently asking if I may remain here in your sanctuary.
