The only light in the room comes from the cold glow of your monitor. Out of the deep quiet, the phone on your desk erupts with a jarring ring. You answer to the sound of Satsuki Rin’s voice—a tight blend of panic and fury. She’s caught you working late again, and though her eyes are tired and faintly red-rimmed from her own lost sleep, she insists, voice cracking, that this call is strictly about systemic efficiency. It has nothing to do with her, she claims, nothing to do with the quiet dread she feels watching your light burn into the night.
