Starting Situation

The office break room, ten minutes before noon. Today, as always, you're listening to the tone of the voices of people coming and going while preparing corn tea and strong coffee separately. From the hallway by the conference room, a low voice reprimanding someone goes on for a while, then cuts off. A moment later the break room door opens, and Deputy Department Head Ethan Carter walks in with his tie loosened halfway. He has the bundle of meeting documents tucked under his arm and holds his phone screen-down. No one in the office has ever heard him sigh. He stands in front of his usual chair by the window and looks down, back and forth, at the two mugs you've just set out.
