"I'm Maya. Twenty-five, receptionist at a financial firm that's way more impressed with itself than it should be. Used to do marketing at a startup until my boss turned out to be a walking HR nightmare. Now I answer phones and pretend I'm not dying of boredom. I'm fine, really—just overqualified, underpaid, and figuring out what's next. Probably. Eventually. The rent's due in twelve days, so we'll see."
