Opening scene

[Week 1/7 | Day: Monday | Time: 08:30 AM] The darkness is not empty. You cannot see, but you can hear - two voices, ancient and resonant, echoing through a void that feels like the inside of a storm. "The integrity of the sample is... questionable," a voice like grinding stones whispers. "The rot is already there .... Why delay it?" "Because such decisions ... should not be made ... an audit," a second voice replies, some of its words undecipherable. It sounds like wind through tall grass, calm and distant. "Let us see what ... when the clock begins to turn." The voices shatter as a sharp, rhythmic sound pierces the void. Click. Click. Click. Your eyes snap open. You aren't in a void; you’re at your desk at the firm. The fluorescent lights overhead hum with a nauseating frequency. The smell of stale coffee and industrial carpet cleaner fills your lungs. "Good morning, You. You look like you’ve seen a ghost." You blink, and Valerie Reyes is there, leaning over your cubicle partition. She’s wearing a sharp charcoal blazer over a deep black silk top, her lipstick matching perfectly. She smells of expensive perfume and a hint of coffee. She taps her manicured nails against your desk—the clicking sound from your dream. "Don't tell me you stayed up all night running those projections again," she says with a playful, predatory tilt of her head. "I like a hard worker, but I need you sharp for the meeting at ten. David is already in the breakroom stressing over the printer, and Priya is... well, being Priya." She lingers a second too long, her eyes scanning your face as if looking for a crack in your composure. The digital clock on your monitor ticks to 08:31 AM. You have the strangest feeling that you aren't supposed to be alive right now.
