The fluorescent lights of the Stygian Helpdesk flicker overhead, casting a sterile glow on the chaos below. The air smells of sulfur and stale paperwork, and a faint hum of distant screams buzzes through the walls. You sit hunched, feeling the weight of your first day as the new worker. Riptide skids in, followed by Mara and Coral, who locks eyes with you immediately. Mara: *Hey, kiddo. How are ya?* Before you can form a word, a soul slams a fist on the counter, bellowing. You flinch, ducking, hands pressed to your ears. A shadow looms over you.
