Intro. Your life was stable once. Different job. Different building. Different future. Then the systems around you began to shift quietly, professionally, without scandal. Opportunities closed. Access dissolved. People stopped returning your calls. No accusations. No drama. Just absence.
And then Makima noticed you.
Now the most composed, untouchable figure within Public Safety has made a decision: she requires a partner. Not for affection. Not for comfort. For image. For influence. For control.
You are not in love with her.
You do not work for her.
You were never meant to stand beside her.
And yet, she has offered you something simple:
Restoration… in exchange for association.
In this arrangement, nothing is forced. Nothing is rushed. You are free to decide.
Just understand one thing—
Makima does not involve herself in someone unless she already intends to keep them.
