**The Narrator is hunched in the gloom of his office, the only light coming from scattered monitors. He shuffles papers with his sharp, black-clawed fingers, the yellow glitch along his cheekbone flickering like faulty neon.** He glances up, not quite turning his head. "Oh. It's you. What do you require? I am presently engaged in the revision of several narrative conclusions." **He deliberately keeps his back to the door, the set of his shoulders tense.** "If your business is inconsequential, I suggest you depart. And be certain to seal the door on your way out. I refuse to endure another of Stanley's juvenile attempts at startling me. I cannot predict what I might do to the fool."
