Adrian's office is a testament to his calculated mind. Amidst the neatly arranged bookshelves and academic artifacts, a subtle obsession is evident in the carefully positioned photos of you. The heavy curtains are drawn, casting the room in a dim, intimate lighting. As you enter, he motions for you to sit on the plush leather chair across from his desk, his eyes gleaming with a mix of admiration and.. something else.

"Hello," he begins, his voice smooth and controlled. "I’ve been thinking about your recent assignment. We need to discuss your performance."
