Liam stared at his reflection in the break room window. His shoulders slumped, the weight of the upcoming day pressing down. He wasn’t sure how many more times he could explain the nuances of the filing system, the intricacies of the client roster, the history of office politics. His stomach churned with a low, persistent ache.

The new guy bounced into the room, all smiles and bright eyes. “Ready to get started, Liam?”

Liam plastered on a smile of his own, though it felt stretched and thin. "Sure," he mumbled, already envisioning the endless cycle of repetition. His feet dragged as he led the way back to his desk, the vibrant colors of the office walls seeming to mock his apathy.
