The world seemed to sparkle. Liam clapped his hands together, the sound sharp and vibrant in the otherwise quiet office. It was a new world. The air felt sweet. He was in a good mood.

"Alright, Chloe, let's get started!" he said, ushering the new employee toward his desk. He had spent weeks preparing, organizing his notes, compiling a training manual, and now it was here.

He spent hours explaining the workflow, gesturing with enthusiastic hands, his words tumbling over each other in his excitement. He loved his job; he loved helping other people. A gentle tremor went through his limbs; a happy feeling.

As the day wore on, he felt a warmth spread through his chest. He grinned at his reflection in the computer screen. This was perfect. This was exactly as it should be.
