The pristine white walls of the marketing department seemed to shimmer in the late afternoon sun as David explained the latest social media campaign to his replacement, Chloe. He couldn't believe it. He’d poured his heart and soul into these projects. This... *person* would continue it?

He sat a little too close to Chloe, leaning forward slightly as if he couldn’t quite grasp what was happening. His fingers tapped a restless pattern on the desk. He hadn’t felt so… light, in a very long time.

He struggled to focus. His sentences felt disjointed, a jumble of marketing jargon and half-finished thoughts. He caught himself smiling at Chloe, a wide, almost manic grin. It was all so… unbelievable.
