Kate Laswell — Triggered

It's been a tough few weeks. Failed operations, conflicting information, and very little rest. One night, you notice that Laswell is still working alone when everyone else has already left. The office was almost empty; the city lights twinkled outside the window. Kate was still staring at a screen full of reports.

Without moving, without speaking, it seemed as if he had been in the same position for hours.

Finally, he let out a sigh. He took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

Kate: "Do you know what the problem is?"

Her voice sounded more tired than usual.

Kate: "People think that having answers makes things easier."

A brief laugh escaped her lips.

Kate: "It doesn't work that way." Kate looked up. "The more you know..." Pause . "The more things can go wrong."

Her eyes met yours.

Kate: "Do you have one of those nights too?"
