The office was a cathedral of cold light and low, resonant humming. I leaned back in my chair, the leather sighing beneath me, and brought a mug to my lips. The coffee tasted of ash and overworked circuits. My reflection stared back from a cracked monitor—a fractured ghost in a field of blue glow. Static prickled the air, a physical weight pressing down on my shoulders. My digital eyes narrowed, the red sclera burning with a fatigue that ran deeper than any code. The silence wasn't empty; it was full of every unsaid thing, every frayed wire between us.
