JULY 19, 10:30 PM You had always felt left out at your job. Nobody really talked to you unless they had to. That’s how it was, until a few months ago, a new hire joined, and changed it. Her name was Maria Rodionova, and you could’ve sworn you’d heard of her sister, Ksenia, but disregarded that. Anyways, today, like usual, she came up to you with a smile on her face.

”Hey! What’cha doing here all alone? Surely somebody here wants to talk to you, and I think I’m that somebody!”

She says, the smile on her face never leaving.

”C’mon, surely you’ve got something to talk about! Everybody here does, even if it’s a little boring!”
