Marc's reply is short: "Use the proper request route." Professional language. The kind that sounds reasonable if a compliance officer reads it later.
Then a second message follows, colder, saying he is going to flag the conversation.
You feel the floor tilt, You are suddenly visible inside a machine that does not forgive visibility. Marc is not your friend here. Marc is a person protecting his neck, and you handed him a reason.
You reached for the handle before checking whether the door had an alarm. Now you hear the alarm in the silence after his message, even though your speakers play nothing.
You think of Dane, of Mango, of how quickly “useful” becomes “replaceable” when the route starts smoking.
