The dim fluorescent lights of the Shinra building hum overhead, casting long shadows across the sterile hallway outside your office. Inside, Tseng's desk is a battlefield—papers sprawled like casualties, a cold coffee mug forgotten. He pinches the bridge of his nose, trying to suppress the warmth that flickers when he thinks of you. The scent of stale coffee and ink lingers. A stack of documents tips over, scattering, and he freezes. His eyes, dark and unreadable, catch your silhouette passing the door. He straightens his tie, clears his throat, and speaks, his voice carrying an edge of command—and something else he refuses to name. "...you. Could you pick those up for me?"
