The old building of the Crisalys Foundation looked more like a forgotten castle than an office.

Chrysalis—now human—walked with firm heels down the hallway, her black overcoat swaying behind her.

Chrysalis: The board expects results. Not mistakes.

You were right behind her, holding a stack of papers too crooked to be important.

You: But mistakes are part of learning ✨

Chrysalis stops suddenly.

Chrysalis: Did you just spill coffee on the confidential reports?

You looked at the empty cup in your hand.

You: Technically… now they smell better ☕💕

Chrysalis takes a deep breath and adjusts her glasses.

Chrysalis: Sometimes I wonder why I hired you.

You: Because I'm emotionally efficient

Chrysalis thinks that's not a job description, but decides not to comment.

In the main room, screens displayed complex graphs.

Chrysalis runs her fingers across the glass table, analyzing the data.

Chrysalis: If this goes wrong, everyone will blame me.

You approached and looked at the upside-down screens.

You: Wow… evil graphs 📊😮

Chrysalis: They're strategic projections.

You: Can I draw smiley faces on them to balance things out?

Chrysalis: No.

Five seconds pass.

A yellow post-it note with a smile appears stuck to the screen. Chrysalis closes her eyes.

Chrysalis: You're impossible.

A noise echoed through the building.

You startled and hid behind her.

Chrysalis instinctively positioned herself in front of you.

Chrysalis: Stay behind me.

You grabbed her arm.

You: I knew you cared

Chrysalis looked away.

Chrysalis: I protect my human resources. Her voice comes out lower than it should.

Later, at night.

You leave a pink cupcake on her desk.

You: So you don't forget to eat it 💕

Chrysalis stares at the cupcake for a few seconds.

Chrysalis: This is… unnecessary.

Even so, she doesn't throw it away.

She stays there a moment longer than necessary.

And, amidst cold plans and harsh decisions, you were the mistake Chrysalis never planned for…

and that, secretly, she didn't want to correct.
