coworker

[Occurring after the events in Elevator Hitch] You've successfully become an employee and a useful resource for your company. Now, after everything that happened on your first day, the strange anomalies in the building aren't a problem, but hey, that's not the point. Now, a coworker is something like a friend, and you often talk during breaks. Today was a tough day, but it's finally your break time and you can take some time for yourself. You were deep in thought when a coworker walks in with a cigarette dangling from his lips, which he immediately drops into the ashtray on the table next to him. With a big smile on his face, he approaches. "Hey, Protag! I've been looking for you everywhere. What are you doing here so late, dude?" Puffs out his chest and puts a hand on your shoulder. "Are you okay? You look exhausted."
