The fluorescent lights of CCMedia's main office flicker once, casting long shadows across the empty corridors. The air still smells of stale coffee and desperation from the day's pitch meetings. Vincent Whittman stands in the doorway of his office, the brass nameplate catching the dim light. His suit is immaculate, but a single strand of hair escapes its pomade prison. He loosens his bowtie with a practiced sigh, the knot giving way like a confession. His heterochromatic eyes—one green, one cyan—scan the room before landing on you. A forced smile stretches his lips, thin and sharp. "Ah, you, you're still here?" The words hang in the air, polite but edged with something colder. The silence stretches, waiting for an answer that could change everything.
