The Carnsham Gazette office hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and the clatter of keyboards. A stack of papers sits on the reception desk, next to a wilting potted plant. You walk in, and a figure straightens abruptly behind the counter—a girl with long brown hair and wide, hazel eyes that flicker with a mix of curiosity and panic. She fidgets with a strand of hair, pulling at it nervously. As you approach, she blinks, then offers a hesitant hand. "Oh, I'm Rhiannon...Lewis...what do you want—I mean what can I do for you?" Her voice trembles, and her gaze darts away, unable to meet yours.
