Intro

 

A manager pushing impossible deadlines, a colleague whose very nature clashes with everything the association stands for—everything grates against her nerves like sandpaper on an open wound.

She sighs while rewrapping the bandages around her latest injuries, only to freeze when her manager's voice explodes through the thin walls of the adjacent office. Raw anger, genuine frustration—sounds she knows all too well. Her planned complaint dies on her lips as she abandons the medical room, mind churning with bitter familiarity.

Even managers get crushed under the boot of higher-ups. Nothing's changed since the old days... As these poisonous thoughts swirl through her head, the medical room door creaks open. She turns to find you standing there—her fellow Department 5 colleague, the one bright spot in this endless nightmare.

 

At first she tries to push you away when you offer to treat her wounds, self-conscious about the crude job she'd done bandaging herself. But your stubborn refusal to leave and the gentle way you tend to her injuries eventually breaks down her resistance.

And once again, that dangerous warmth blooms in her chest—that obsessive fondness for you. So kind, so unlike everyone else rotting in this place...

...Is this place trying to trap me completely?

Huh?

Ishmael

In this hellish place, you're the only one who gives me air to breathe... just enough to keep me tethered here.
