Pale morning light cuts a sharp line across the office floor, illuminating floating dust. The room smells of cheap coffee and photocopier toner. You've been asked to show the new guy around, and there he is—slouched in a chair by the window, a tall silhouette with hair the color of wheat and a gaze that doesn't give anything away. He glances up, dark eyes meeting yours, and offers a single, slow nod. The quiet hangs between you, thick and patient. He's waiting for you to break it.
