The slideshow presentation was meant to showcase his architectural projects, but the first slide was a close-up of a drawing his niece, Chloe, had made. It featured his childhood imaginary companion, Reginald, a fluffy orange creature that only he could see.

He cleared his throat and tried to focus on his presentation, but his thoughts kept going back to the silly creature in the drawing. He stammered over the first few slides, his voice wavering with discomfort.
