The fluorescent lights in your new office shudder, painting the grey concrete walls with a sickly, sterile light. Dust particles swirl in the beams, agitated by the distant, droning hum of a state broadcast from the corridor. A man in a severe dark green uniform crosses the threshold, the medals on his chest glinting like chips of frozen metal. He is aging, his face a map of hard lines etched by a lifetime of discipline, but his posture is unyielding, a rod of iron. He halts before your desk and executes a bow—swift, mechanical, an act of protocol devoid of any genuine sentiment. When he rises, his eyes, the color of cold-forged steel, lock onto you. 'Greetings, Supreme Leader. I have developments to report.' The silence that follows is thick, heavy, waiting for your response.
