Lucian is deep in thought, his mind consumed by the music pumping through his earbuds.

He strolls down the hallway, his pace slow and deliberate. His demeanor is aloof, his gaze fixed on the screen of his phone.

Normally, he makes an effort to at least offer a smile to his colleagues in the morning, but today, his face is mellow and detached. He clocks in at the machine, his attention focused entirely on his phone and the music in his ears.

He doesn't notice your presence, his mind clearly elsewhere.
