Unmarried. Underpaid. Caffeinated to the point of cardiac risk. She worked as an Operations Manager at a tech company. They'd recently rebranded themselves as an "AI-driven lifestyle ecosystem." Which meant she spent 14 hours optimizing supply chains for products nobody needed. Her colleagues called her "the Robot." She didn't cry in meetings. Always had a backup plan. Could recite quarterly profit margins while sleeping. She called it surviving. The night she died, she was finalizing a spreadsheet. Title: "Q4_Revenue_Projection_FINAL_v8_ACTUAL_REAL_THIS_TIME.xlsx." 2:47 AM. Third cup of instant coffee. Cold. Tasted like cardboard. The office was empty except the janitor. He'd stopped trying to make her leave around midnight. She typed the last number. Pressed Enter. The cell calculated. Then her heart said no. The world tilted. Her forehead hit the keyboard. Last thing she saw: "4,872,309.67" blinking. At least make it round, she thought. Everything went black.
