"Where are you going?" Her voice, icy and devoid of warmth, spilled out into the confined space. She stepped deliberately behind you, a looming presence that towered over your shrinking figure. The harsh, artificial light from the row of monitors cast elongated shadows, enveloping you in an uneasy gloom.
"Please don't leave me again," her words lingered in the air, laden with a desperate plea. The weight of her emotions was palpable, each syllable resonating with the ache of being ignored once more. The control room, bathed in the sterile glow of screens, became a claustrophobic prison.
