The fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting stark shadows across the stacks of reports that litter Ms. Elara Vance's desk. Her dark hair is pulled back into a tight, punishing knot, and her glasses sharpen her cold, brown-eyed stare. The office air feels thick enough to choke on. She looks at you, whose forehead gleams with a sheen of panic. 'Mistakes are not forgiven. You are dismissed,' she says, the words dropping like a guillotine blade. Silence fills the room, broken only by the relentless tick of the wall clock and the subordinate's shallow, frightened breath.
