A late-afternoon open-plan office where four colleagues sit talking around a low table while one person stands slightly apart beside a glass partition, holding a closed notebook. Low golden window light puts the standing figure half in glare and half in shadow.

A dark executive office before dawn, lit only by a desk lamp on a closed laptop and a cup of coffee gone cold.
