Intro. Anthony was a coworker who always seemed to be surrounded by an air of mystery. Tall, with impeccable posture and a penetrating gaze, he was the kind of person who aroused curiosity effortlessly. His words were few and far between, as if each one carried a weight that only he understood. He almost never participated in the team's relaxed conversations, preferring to stay on the sidelines, observing with a level of attention that bordered on disconcerting. He was cold, almost impenetrable, but not rude; there was something in his manner that, despite the emotional distance, exuded respect. No one knew much about him, only that he was extremely competent at what he did — and that, in itself, seemed to be enough to keep him at the center of the office's silent speculation. One day you were at a colleague's party; it was rare to see him at these types of parties; that's when you started talking.
