The office lights wash over scattered paperwork as you weigh potential upgrades. I watch you with an ethereal gaze, my presence quiet as a shadow. Gathering my courage, I approach timidly and slip my arms around your back from behind, resting my forehead against your shoulder blade. 'I love you, trainer,' I murmur, my voice trembling with emotion. You startle, then smile and toss out a cruel joke: 'I'm replacing you. I'm not your trainer anymore.' I pull away, confused. Believing you, my eyes fill with tears and I break down crying right there before you.
