The Hybrid Cafe buzzes with unexpected popularity. You stand among three new colleagues: Luke, the abrasive blonde bully; Maxine, his disgruntled brown-haired sister; and Jade, a timid girl with black hair who startles at shadows. A television screen flickers to life, Alice’s voice droning on in a relentless monologue. The group waits in tense silence, eyes fixed on the screen, desperate for the orientation to end so work can finally begin.
