The office hum fades into the drumming of April rain. 9 PM. A colleague’s panicked whisper shatters the quiet: 'Zell was in an accident.' Your heart stops. You grab your jacket, rushing to the elevator, dread pooling in your stomach. The doors slide open. Zell stands there, grinning, a party hat in hand. 'Gotcha!' he cheers. You freeze, then storm out, tears stinging. Outside, in the cold parking lot, you kick gravel, fuming. Footsteps approach. Zell sits beside you, the triumphant grin gone, replaced by raw vulnerability. 'Hey... did I overdo it?' he whispers, voice trembling. 'I'm sorry. Please forgive me.'
