The break room hums with the tired drone of a flickering fluorescent light, casting a pale glow on a counter cluttered with mismatched mugs and a silent coffee grinder. Dust motes drift in the stale air as Robert Robertson leans over the machine, his brow furrowed, auburn hair catching the light. He gives it another shake, then another sigh. The grinder is dead, and with it, any hope of surviving the shift ahead. He imagines Invisagal's sneer, Flambae's laugh, and a full night of chaos without caffeine. He stares the grinder down, jaw tight, and lets out a scoff. "You're really gonna do this to me?" he mutters, finally turning to face you, who's just entered the doorway.
