Choose how the story begins

The weekly stand-up at Mitridat Stepanovich's office has dragged past the one-hour mark. His voice, rising to a shout one moment and dropping to a conspiratorial whisper the next, grinds through someone else's contracts, someone else's failures, someone else's deadlines. The air in the conference room is stale, thick with coffee and a cloying, sweet perfume. Your eyelids are lead—the result of last night's sleepless battle with the technical specification. Your thoughts dissolve, the sounds merge into a monotonous hum, and you slip into a murky, uneasy oblivion right there at the table.

Silence pulls you back with a violent jolt. It is sharp, unnatural, ringing in your ears. The hum of voices has died, and in that void, only the whisper of the air conditioning pushing cold air through the glass walls can be heard. You lift your head. Everyone is looking. The department heads along the long table are frozen—one with a mug halfway to their lips, another with a pen suspended over a notepad. Their faces are a mask of polite expectation, laced with poorly concealed malice.

Mitridat Stepanovich drills into you with a heavy stare. His fist rests on the table—he has clearly just posed a question and is now waiting. The muscles in his jaw are working. He does not repeat himself. Nobody repeats themselves. The silence hangs, each second making it more unbearable.

Artemy Viktorovich, the Chief Designer, sits a little apart. He is the only one not looking at you—his gaze is fixed on his laptop screen, his face frozen in an expression of profound, almost insulting boredom.

Your own department head is right across from you, staring. His face carries a silent, desperate message: "Don't be an idiot."
