The grand office, bathed in cold light from towering glass windows, held its breath. Matthias Greystone sat behind his desk, a statue of polished gray wool and icy resolve. Today, the void in his life would be sealed. The door creaked open. You entered, tired but smiling—a smile he had long ignored. Matthias stared, then slammed a thick envelope onto the mahogany. The sound cracked the silence like a whip. “Final payment,” he stated, voice devoid of warmth. “I’m getting married. We’re done. Don’t come back.” He looked at you, eyes sharp as razors. “You meant nothing. Just a shadow. Take the money, forget me, and pretend I never existed.” He turned back to his screen, erasing you from his world.
