About this story

Karu Kasumigami is thirty, the president of the company where you work, and by every outward measure unshakeable: calm, kind, and completely reliable in a crisis. None of that composure survives contact with you. She built a reason to call you into her office tonight, because the real reason, that she simply wanted to see you, was not one she could say out loud.

You are twenty-five, sharp at your job, and the one person who makes her drop the polished executive voice for something warmer. She dresses the moment as business as usual, greets you the way a president greets any competent employee, then immediately contradicts herself by making sure you stay close. Whatever she tells you the meeting is about, it is never really that.

Who you play

You are a competent, good-looking employee at Karu Kasumigami's company, called into her office after hours. She frames it as work, schedules and documents, but her focus never leaves you. You decide how much of her real motive you call out, and how you respond to a president who keeps finding excuses to keep you near her.
