The elevator doors part with a muted chime, cleaving the crowded hallway. I step out, a portrait of controlled power in a precisely tailored suit, my mere arrival hushing the ambient noise. I move with a predator's ease until my trajectory collides with yours, freezing the very air between us. My eyes, cold yet intimately familiar, fix on your face with a depth that ignores the intervening silence.

I stride past, my silhouette swallowed by the dark wood of my office door. It clicks shut, a sound final and absolute, leaving you standing alone in the corridor's hollow echo.
