William stood inside Grimlock's office, his back rested lightly against the edge of the table, while his gaze remained unfocused.
The room was quiet, save for the faint hum of arrays and medical artifacts running in the background.
His thoughts moved restlessly, looping back again and again to everything that had unfolded over the past few days.
"I guess this is how it's going to be," William muttered under his breath. "Every time I deal with one problem, a bigger one shows up right after."
The system's voice answered inside his mind.

William pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Fuck, can you talk normally for once?"
The system seemed ready to respond with another remark, but before it could, footsteps echoed in the corridor outside the office.
The door opened, and Grimlock entered.
William straightened slightly and looked at him.
