From MC's Perspective:
When I stepped into the room, the air seemed to thicken, tension radiating from every corner. Two new faces sat behind the main desk, their expressions unreadable but intense. Across from them sat the Federation Head, his usual calm demeanor masking the weight of the moment.
Their gazes locked onto mine the moment I entered. A creeping dread coiled in my chest, tightening with each passing second. I didn't know what to think, let alone what to do. Something about their presence made me feel exposed, as if every secret I carried was laid bare.
They were studying me now. Not just looking at me—but through me. Their eyes felt like needles, sharp and probing. It was unsettling, like they could peel back the layers of my existence with a mere glance.
