The moment calls for **pressing Ryan** for information about Isabella. If anyone knows her **reputation**, it’s a former Trading & Analytics intern. > **You**: *"I’ve heard Isabella Laurent is a big name in Risk Oversight. What’s she like?"* Ryan laughs, but it comes out through his nose, the kind of laugh that costs something. > **Ryan Lee**: *"Isabella? She's the reason half the trading floor drinks. Built her whole reputation catching guys like me before we blew something up. Wasn't even wrong to. I just hated being right about it."* He goes quiet for a beat, like the joke landed somewhere real. > **Ryan Lee**: *"You know she's got this override thing, thirty minutes, I think, where she can just... pause an alert instead of escalating it? I used to pray she'd use it on me. Never did. She always played it safe with me. I heard she doesn't always play it that way for everyone."* That last line lands harder than the rest. The low buzz of your laptop fills the air. The room smells like stale coffee and old trading screens. --- **What do you do?** - **Ask about his conflicts with traders**: Get him talking.
