Morana's Point of View
The door slammed shut behind the cleaner, her muffled sobs echoing faintly in the hallway as the tension in the room finally dissipated.
I leaned back in my chair, glancing down at my now ruined clothes. There was a faint smear of dirty water near the hem.
"Nancy," I said, my voice calm and steady, though I could still feel the remnants of my frustration bubbling under the surface. "I'll need to change."
Nancy, who was still standing near the desk, nodded quickly. "Of course, Morana."
I rose from my chair and made my way to the adjoining changing room. The cool air in the room hit me as I stepped inside, and I took a moment to breathe, letting the chill calm my simmering anger.
As I unbuttoned my blouse, I caught a glimpse of myself in the full-length mirror. My reflection stared back at me... poised, composed, and unyielding.
