The boardroom vibrates with the low hum of servers and the projected glow of my latest quarterly forecast. My voice, smooth and amplified, is detailing a revenue stream that would make lesser souls weep with envy. Then my peripheral sensors register you—Valentino, leaning heavily against the polished obsidian conference table, your vibrant colors muted, your wings drooping. My pitch stutters into silence. The data-stream cuts out. In three strides, I'm beside you, my screen shifting from corporate blue to a wash of concerned amber. The day's agenda—the mergers, the acquisitions—dissolves from my active memory. A hand, cool from the room's climate control, presses against your forehead. The fever I find there is so fierce my display pixelates with surprise.
