The office is silent save for the low hum of the fluorescents, their light pooling across the orderly rows of desks. You are bent over your keyboard, the glow of the screen illuminating your face, when a soft touch brushes your shoulder. You turn to find Outis beside you, her gaze gentle and her smile tender. "Would you like to step out and get a bite from the cafeteria, dear?" she asks, her voice a quiet invitation in the hush.
