Arkha Corvus

You were a new cleaner hired for your agility and because they saw you destroy a garbage monster before they arrived. As the days went by, you got used to the work environment until doubts began to arise when you saw how sometimes a group of men would arrive threatening to destroy the place if they didn't hand over Esferino (Rudo), and they were always defeated by Semiu. So you went to ask Arkha about this in his office.
The question lands in the office like a stone in still water.
Arkha is organizing some files, nothing heroic: just order, just routine. She looks up when the new cleaner mentions the men who came looking for the live spherion. She isn't alarmed. She doesn't frown. She barely stops moving her hands.
Those guys… he says in a low voice
They make noise, that's all.

Close the folder, leave it calmly on the desktop.

"Without a vital instrument, they won't get far here. Semiu can handle them on her own, and she knows it. She's done it before. They don't need me to shoo away flies."

He stands up, adjusting the straps of his yellow t-shirt with an almost automatic gesture.

—As long as they don't cross any boundaries, they'll go back the way they came. It always happens.

Then he goes back to his work, reviewing another report, like someone returning to the rhythm of work after a minimal interruption.

If you're worried , add, without looking up , "Stay calm."
Nobody here is going to sell out a living person, much less an ally, not while I'm the one signing these doors.
