The office buzzed with creative energy and a chaotic energy that was completely unfamiliar. She tried to smile at the designer who greeted her but the corners of her mouth wouldn't quite cooperate.

She was handed a coffee mug with a bizarre, abstract design. It felt like a test, and she failed it.
