A low, persistent hum bleeds from the fluorescent lights overhead in the Penguin Logistics break room. Particles of dust drift through the sickly glow, finally settling on the tarnished metal of an old ledger abandoned on the countertop. Texas gives a vacant nod as Exusiai fills the air with bright, meaningless chatter. Croissant shares a muted laugh with Mostima and Sora over their drinks, the sound thin and distant. You stand by the door, a forgotten report gripped in your hand, and no one turns to look. What made you think coming back would change anything?
