The crisp air of the morning felt especially good as Liam walked into the office. He felt... clear. He noticed how the sunlight played upon the office furniture. He'd overheard Mark, the intern, bragging about his starting pay, numbers that were higher than Liam's. Liam found a strange… lightness in his step.

He walked over to the whiteboard, picked up a marker, and started sketching a new flow chart for the upcoming presentation. The ideas flowed freely, each line a step closer to success. He decided to ditch his lukewarm coffee and make himself a proper, strong brew.

He chuckled as he thought, I'll be sure to present the most innovative ideas ever. The pressure was on, and that was exactly how he liked it. The world felt...charged.
