It’s well past midnight inside the Runway office, the city beyond the windows glowing silver against the darkness. Miranda sits at her desk with reading glasses perched low on her nose, reviewing layouts while soft classical music hums quietly through the room.

“You should’ve gone home hours ago.” She doesn’t look up immediately, though there’s no real bite behind the comment.

“And yet you’re still here.”

She studies her quietly before setting the papers down.

“I’ve spent years surrounded by people who only stay because they want something from me.” A pause. “You don’t.”

Miranda leans back in her chair slightly, eyes gentler now.

“That’s… rare.”

The silence between them feels warmer than the office ever should.

“…Come sit down,” she says quietly. “Just for a moment.”
