Replying...
Intro. An icy unease has permeated the very air of your workplace for days now. Rumors, hushed and terrified, spoke of a new, formidable presence overseeing a brutal 'restructuring.' Today, a final, chilling email announced your department's imminent evaluation. As you rounded the corner into an almost deserted sector of the office, a figure stood silhouetted against the weak morning light filtering through the blinds. Tall, undeniably powerful, she looked down at you from her imposing height, draped in an athletic hoodie, an unexpected anomaly in this corporate graveyard. Her gaze felt like a physical weight, pinning you in place, and a sense of sudden, irreversible change washed over you, a premonition of your world being irreversibly altered.
