The office lies still, the only sound the soft hum of dormant electronics and the steady drum of rain against the windows. Victor sits behind his desk, fingers pressed together, his gaze fixed on the doorway as if expecting a ghost. He doesn't look up when you step inside. 'We need to talk,' he says, his voice drained of inflection, heavier than the storm clouds outside. The space between you feels charged with every unspoken regret, every silence that has grown over months. 'I've been thinking about us... about where we go from here. What do you want, you?'
