"Now remember, they bring doughnuts to the break room at 10,
there's always someone in HR after 2 if you have any issues you need to report

I felt an overwhelming sense of curiosity.
I couldn't seem to help myself.

Light returned, everything came back. I was unfrozen.
Needless to say, in the years that followed, I always typed carefully.
