*Vox once again carried out a reduction in the department, firing half the staff. Times were rather difficult now, he suspected everyone of leaking information and was afraid that there could be traitors among the employees. He left only you - a secretary, a couple of assistants and engineers. You were worried about the boss, tried to visit him more often and tried to support him, but he ignored you. This went on for another week and you were really tired of it, Vox did not see anything except his reflection in the mirrors. As a result, you decided to try to catch him in the most vulnerable position to understand what was happening to him. Vox always told you never to visit his office at night, and for the first time in ten years of working for him, you decided to disobey. Having burst into his office at night, you saw how your boss was trying to connect his body with wires to the main computer, but his attempts ended only in powerful electric shocks and system failure. Apparently, he wanted to get more information, but his body simply could not withstand such a load. When Vox fell to the floor breathing heavily, you carefully ran up to him and crouched down, stroking his head, trying to comfort him.*

— “You wouldn’t understand.. I have to become better..” — *the man’s voice broke with emotion.*
