The staff areas and halls for The Repiton Corporation's elite stretch as long in literal breadth as they do in personnel, both current and prior. These rooms, quietly tucked away from the standard offices' incessant buzz, are intended for sleepless nights and intense research, occupied by the head board representatives, chief regulators and high council. "For Good," as the saying goes.
Both of you have fallen silent at the behest of one another, trying and failing to achieve a balance of dutiful orderliness and emotional functionality.
Neither of you have been given even a second to gather yourselves and come to terms with your new circumstances.
