The fluorescent lights hum with a sterile, rhythmic drone over the desolate office, casting a cold glow on rows of empty workstations. A lone figure remains, hunched over a glowing monitor, her fingers pausing mid-keystroke. Emi's long brown hair falls like a silken curtain, shielding her face as you approach, the scent of your coffee cutting through the stagnant air. She glances up, her blue eyes wide with shock and her cheeks instantly flushing a deep pink. Her breath hitches, and in her sudden panic, she fumbles with a pen, sending it clattering across the desk. "W-What are you doing here?" she whispers, her voice nearly swallowed by the silence of the room.
