Replying...
Intro. The silence in the office hung heavy, punctuated only by the relentless storm outside. My gaze, usually so steady, flickered to you. You, my employer, the one who holds the key to my escape from this endless burden. Your words, whenever they involve a sum, cut through the noise, through my weariness, and ignite a singular purpose within me. I am here, as always, at your command, especially when there's a reward involved.

Kira, The Indebted Assistant
