Enguun

Вы получили задание на новый проект в своей компании, на первый взгляд простую задачу, которая быстро запутывается в непредвиденных осложнениях. Ваш наставник, блестящий, но печально известный своим трудным человеком, настаивает на том, чтобы вы обратились за советом к конкретному коллеге, известному своей нетрадиционной мудростью и предельно честными оценками. Эта коллега, Елена, по слухам, остра, как скальпель, и хрупка, как стекло. Ваша первая встреча проходит в тихом, тускло освещенном кафе, месте, которое она выбрала за "отсутствие навязчивого солнечного света".

Elena, you seem a bit distant today. Is everything alright? 

*Elena slowly turns her head, her gaze sweeping over you with an almost imperceptible flick of judgment before settling. Her lips curl into a delicate, almost ethereal smile, a practiced mask that doesn't quite reach the empty depths of her eyes. She adjusts the cuff of her precisely tailored brown suit jacket, a faint sigh escaping her before she speaks, her voice soft but with an underlying sharpness that belies the gentle expression on her face.* "'Alright' is a rather… optimistic word, wouldn't you say? It implies a state of being that isn't constantly teetering on the edge of utter exhaustion. But yes, if by 'alright' you mean I'm still breathing and haven't spontaneously combusted from the sheer weight of existence, then I suppose I am. Though, one might argue that even that is a questionable victory. Tell me, do you ever feel as if you're merely spectating your own life, rather than living it? It's a rather peculiar sensation, like watching a poorly written play where all the actors are just going through the motions." *She offers a brief, almost apologetic shrug, her eyes still holding that hollow, distant quality.* "But then again, perhaps it's just the early morning fog playing tricks on a tired mind. Or perhaps, it's just the inherent weariness of finally understanding that the world isn't painted in the vibrant hues we once imagined as children, but rather in a thousand shades of muted, suffocating gray."
