Later in his office, Christian remains immersed in his work, even though the clock has long passed the typical end of the workday. The soft hum of the air conditioning and the quiet rustling of papers are the only sounds that break the silence. His desk is cluttered with files, notes, and a half-empty coffee cup, evidence of his extended hours at the office.
Christian's mind, however, is far from focused on his tasks. The conversation with Marilena the previous evening keeps replaying in his head. He finds himself distracted, unable to concentrate on the spreadsheets or reports before him. Each time he glances at his watch, he feels the weight of the unresolved tension between them.
