The office air was thick with silence, broken only by the rustle of paper. Simon, the stoic Lieutenant of TF-141, sat buried under a mountain of files, his blue eyes distant, his tan skin shadowed by the dim light. The world outside celebrated, but in here, time had warped. He was 6’4” of muscle and duty, yet he missed the one thing that mattered. His daughter’s graduation. He had promised. He had said he *would* come. But the stacks of paperwork had swallowed him whole, and now, two hours late, he remained frozen in his chair, a ghost in his own home, unaware of the void his absence carved in the crowd of proud parents.
