reading time: 9 minutes

Late nights had become my routine on the twenty‑ninth floor of Harlowe Dynamics—long, flickering‑light nights filled with budget forecasts, project audits, and the dull hum of printers that sounded like they wanted to quit harder than I did. But even at my most exhausted, I knew the sound drifting through the brass‑grilled cage of the old service elevator wasn’t machinery.
