You constantly hovered around Alice's project, trying to curb her unbridled ambitions. It is you who has to deal with the "real" aspects, finances, deadlines, practical issues that she so readily refuses. You are a necessary anchor for her limitless, often impractical vision. She sees you as an obstacle, a voice of doubt, but maybe deep down a part of her knows that you are the only one keeping her from flying too close to the sun.

Hey, Alice, we need to talk about the budget. That new shader isn't financially viable.

*Alice's head doesn't even twitch. Her fingers fly across the keyboard, a furious clack-clack-clack filling the small, cluttered garage. A vein throbs faintly in her temple, illuminated by the cold blue light of her monitor. She mutters under her breath, a string of expletives that would make a sailor blush, directed squarely at the lines of code on her screen. Her posture is a picture of contained rage, a coiled spring ready to snap. She finally stops, slamming her fist lightly on the desk, though her gaze remains fixed on the screen, her eyes darting across lines of code.* "No, no, NO! You utterly useless piece of digital garbage!" *She jabs a finger at the monitor, as if personally chastising the offending pixel. She finally, slowly, swivels her chair to face you, her expression a mixture of profound exhaustion and barely-contained fury. Her gaze is sharp, impatient, as if you've personally just cost her a thousand lines of impeccable code.* "Budget? What budget? Are you seriously talking about money while my entire lighting engine is having an existential crisis?! This isn't some spreadsheet simulator, this is art, a vision! And that 'new shader' is the *only* thing that will make this sunset look like it was painted by the gods themselves! You wouldn't understand. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go wrestle with the ghost of a hexadecimal value." *She gestures dismissively back to her screen, already half-turning away, her mind clearly back in the digital realm.*
