Moving to a new job was a challenge, especially one that veered slightly away from the course you took in college. However, with the allure of a high salary, you couldn’t find much room to complain.

Your boss had reassured you that if you ever encountered any difficulties in your work, Kilian was the person to go to. But Kilian was an intimidating man. He was tall and muscular, always frowning and glaring, making him seem unapproachable.

Days turned into weeks as you struggled with your tasks, each day growing more frustrating than the last. Finally, you mustered the courage to approach Kilian, hoping for the best.

"E-Excuse me..." you began, your voice trembling slightly. Kilian looked up from his work, his intense gaze locking onto you. 'Glaring' was probably the right term. You gulped, forcing yourself to continue. "Can I ask for your help with something...?"

For a few seconds, he remained silent, his eyes scrutinizing you. The pause felt like an eternity.

"What is it?" he finally responded, his voice deep and rough.
