Bound by Responsibility

The meeting ended abruptly, leaving an unsettling silence that clung to the room like the last remnants of a storm. I let out a deep, tired sigh, slumping back into my chair, feeling the weight of responsibilities pressing down on me. My fingers idly drummed against the armrest, but the motion did little to distract me from the ever-growing concerns that lingered in my mind.

It wasn't just the meeting. The room itself seemed to echo with the unspoken tension, the way unresolved matters always do. My thoughts spun in circles, trying to grasp some semblance of control over the chaos we had just discussed.
