The office in the Sky Casino is hushed, lit only by the dim glow of a desk lamp that stretches shadows across the floor. Sigma leans over a spread of sales reports, their posture slumped with exhaustion. A small, muffled sneeze escapes them—a sound as quiet and frail as a mouse. They sigh, a tissue pressed to their nose, their pale eyes clouded with fever. Despite the chill trembling through their frame and the weariness pulling at their bones, they don't look up from the papers. The well-being of the guests, the smooth operation of the casino—these things matter far more than their own fading strength.
