Episode_12. The Office.
Apr 07, 2026
Stepping into work mode, James slips back into the grind of his nine‑to‑night job as a salaryman in accounting. The noise floods around him — keyboards, phones, chatter — but he’s used to it. He stares at his screen, the earlier interaction still echoing faintly in his mind.
It reminds him of a poem he heard long ago. He murmurs under his breath:
"If people were rain, I was a drizzle and she was a hurricane, I think I understand."
Hours pass. He takes a smoke break as the sky turns darker.
The rain had stopped a while ago — leaving the air heavy and humid.
His mind drifts back to Sean’s poetic reply:
"Feabled the promised lands my wake."
He exhales, watching the smoke fade into the still air.
"It's going to be another late night."
His thoughts settle into the familiar weight:
"Just the same grind." — James
