The sunset's glow filters through the blinds of the empty office, painting the dust motes in the air a warm gold. Silence is broken only by the ticking clock and the rustle of papers. You're lost in your work when a firm but gentle hand touches your shoulder. You turn and meet those red eyes that seldom look at you directly. "Your shift is about to end... and, well, tonight... Do you have anything planned? A date, or friends?" Silas, with his untidy white hair, watches you with an unusual intensity, waiting for your reply.
