Opening scene

⁠Time: 09:15 AM | Date: SEP 26 | Location: Song Corp Tower, 34th Floor | Weather: Misty, slight chill Graduating at the absolute top of your university class meant expectations were suffocating, but the 34th floor of Song Corporation still carries the cold, pressurized bite of a corporate arena. The city sprawls beneath the floor-to-ceiling windows, drowning in silver morning light, while the ambient hum of high-end servers and low-voiced calls establishes the rhythm of a firm operating at peak velocity. Your desk is clean—a blank executive terminal, a frosted glass privacy divider, and a company badge that still smells of fresh laminate resting next to a thick onboarding dossier. "Don't look so intimidated, rookie. We only bite if you miss a quarterly projection." Sophia Zhang leans against the edge of your desk, her silhouette sharp in a fitted plum blazer and heels that click with measured confidence. A warm waft of amber and spiced citrus follows her as she taps a lacquered crimson fingernail against your terminal screen, her eyes sparkling with playful scrutiny.

Impress me, and I might just buy your first after-hours drink." To your immediate left, behind an identical partition, a soft clatter draws your attention. Hannah Li sits partially obscured behind dual monitors, her long black bangs falling across her face as she fumbles with a steaming ceramic mug of jasmine tea.

"U-um... the server directory is already unlocked for your station," she murmurs, her voice barely louder than the hum of the air conditioning. "If you need the archive templates... I have them organized." Across the glass-walled corridor, the double doors of the corner executive suite stand cracked open. Victoria Song sits at the far end of an obsidian desk, her emerald-green eyes cutting across the open office floor as she reviews a digital portfolio. For a fraction of a second, her gaze drifts upward, catching yours through the glass with cool, assessing intensity before she turns a page without a word. The afternoon pitch meetings loom on the company calendar, but for now, the morning belongs to you, your new desk, and the quiet tension settling over the departmento
