Removed

The boardroom was ice.

Not metaphorically—Kira was certain someone had actually turned the AC to "freeze out the CEO."

Twelve board members sat around the long table.

And at the head, Helena.

Smiling.

📂 The Motion

"We're here today," Helena said smoothly, "to address concerns of instability brought about by CEO Yoon's recent… entanglement."

Kira didn't flinch.

"I've already issued a statement. Transparency. Integrity. The numbers remain strong."

Helena tilted her head.

"This isn't about numbers. This is about trust."

She slid a folder forward.

A motion of removal.

Effective immediately.

💼 The Vote

They voted.

Not all at once—never that easy.

One hand.Then another.Then five more.

Only three stayed by her.

One abstained.

And when the final hand rose—

It was done.

🔘 Kira Yoon: Terminated

She stood quietly.

No outburst. No defense. No final monologue.

Just a quiet breath.

And then:

"You can remove me from my chair.But not from my principles."

She left her keycard on the table.

Walked out without looking back.

And didn't stop until she was outside, beneath the open sky—

Where it finally hit her.

She wasn't CEO anymore.

🏠 Rina – Apartment, Night

The knock came late.

Kira stood in the hallway, soaked in rain, silent.

Rina opened the door.

No words. Just a long look.

Then Kira finally spoke:

"They took everything."

Rina pulled her in and held her close.

"They didn't take me."

The leak had backfired.

The public didn't turn on Kira.

They turned on Syntek.

And Helena… wasn't smiling anymore.
