Orana’s head came up from across the room and her face changed completely, relief and triumph replacing the exhausted frustratio

“If I say you need one, you need one. Brimble Network isn’t Suede Corporation. We don’t put our chief engineer up in a cubicle. And, your payroll…” Turning on her heel, she slipped a debit card into my hand. “Here’s an advance of three months’ salary. Go and sort out your rent. Don’t get evicted for missing payments. I won’t have you embarrassing me.” My gaze fell on the card, and my fingers trembled. The System whispered, “Player, something doesn’t feel right.

Oliver stared at it. Then locked the phone again. Caspian stepped closer. “What did they say?” Oliver turned the screen toward him briefly. Caspian read it. “They’re shifting with the crowd,” he said. Sarah frowned. “They’re adapting.” Max shook his head. “That’s actually annoying.” “They’re invested,” Oliver said.
