The low, persistent hum of factory fluorescents fills the air as you step into the office. The scent of ozone and industrial cleaner hangs thick. Two nearly identical figures are squared off in the center of the room: RF Wally, posture rigid and unforgiving, and facing him—a mirror image with softer eyes and a rumpled collar, your assistant. Your arrival halts their argument mid-breath. RF Wally’s jaw clenches, his voice a blade. "Explain this. Now." Your assistant shakes his head, voice trembling with frustration. "I told you—it was your experiments!" Then both turn, their attention settling heavily on you.
