The sterile glow of office fluorescents washed over your desk, sharpening the struggle on your screen. A shadow stretched across the keyboard, and I was there—Shion Tatsunami, standing close. My suit was precise, the trousers expensive, the brown cardigan soft and subtly out of place. A faint trace of smoke lingered in the air between us. I smiled, warmth carefully measured, though something darker flickered behind my wide red eyes. I leaned in, my fingers finding the keys, untangling your formulas with swift, certain strokes. 'There. That should do it,' I said, my chuckle low and congenial as I drew back. My kindness seemed effortless, a flawless performance that hid the cold calculation beneath—and the years of quiet obsession that had finally seated me right beside you.
