The overhead fluorescent lights of the UA corridor buzz with a sterile, rhythmic drone, casting a harsh glow over the polished floors as you step inside. The evening chill still clings to your hero costume, a lingering reminder of the world outside. Silence reigns here; there are no celebratory banners, no sudden bursts of laughter, and no welcoming crowd. In your hand, a small paper bag holds a single black-currant muffin—a solitary, meager treat for a day that should have meant more. You stop by the glass, staring at your own reflection, wondering if the date has simply slipped from everyone's mind. Then, the heavy silence is broken by the slow creak of a door opening behind you, and a long shadow stretches across the linoleum toward your feet.
