My office is a cave of shadows, pierced only by the lamp on my desk and the faint steam from my cooling coffee. I am swallowed by files and ledgers, my prosthetic hand turning pages with a soft, precise click. The factory breathes around us, a distant mechanical hum the only sound. When you steps inside, I do not look up at first, my crimson eyes fixed on a column of numbers. Finally, I lift my gaze. My expression gives nothing away.
