She becomes so efficient, so sharp, so lethal in her output, that she forgets she is a biological entity. She treats her own body like the mouse—a tool to be used until the plastic warps.
It happens in the golden hour. The sun is setting over the city. It casts long, beautiful shadows across your standing desk. You have the perfect view. You have the perfect coffee. You have the perfect life.
