The morning sun warmed Elias's face as he cycled to work, the crisp air filling his lungs. He whistled along with the birdsong, a light, buoyant melody. Inside the office, the usual chaotic buzz was oddly subdued. He found his desk, already organized with his morning coffee, and began his routine tasks, a gentle hum of contentment within him. A sudden announcement crackled over the PA system, cutting through the quiet. "All employees, please gather in the conference room immediately." Elias felt a flicker of surprise, nothing more, and he followed the other employees, his pace steady, his gaze calm.
