It’s been a tense day. Dana went to work like she usually does, expecting her ROMAC coworkers to give her ten thousand things to do in not enough time, expecting to spend her hours faxing and filing and getting the Keurig set up for the 3:00 meeting, and spending every free moment browsing blogs online to keep herself from losing her mind.
But instead, there was...nothing. No one looked at her, no one fobbed their work off on her, there were no new emails, and even Dana’s phone wasn't acting smart and hissing and prophesying doom like it usually does. And it felt wrong, all of it, and it gave Dana the horrible sinking feeling that she’d gotten displaced somehow, again, the way people in the office seemed to look right through her.
So she tells the receptionist she was taking an early lunch, getting no response, and leaves the building to see what she can find out.
She heads to Bee’s apartment, which she’s not supposed to know the location of, but neither of them are too concerned about this silly factions business to keep those kind of secrets, and anyway Bee seems like the right person to ask about her anxieties, since she’d know from Dana’s patterns if anything is up.
She gets inside the building just fine, and just like at the office, people pass her by without a second glance. It makes Dana more and more nervous, especially after she gets no answer from Bee’s door. She hurries down through the floors, checking to see if anyone’s in the halls.
When Dana comes upon the man slumped against the wall she’s worked herself almost into a panic, and she asks with desperation, “Can you see me?”
