"it's late"

You turn away, heading back to your own chambers. You shudder, wondering what kind of interaction you just had with Durga, your boss. You can't seem to get slimy thoughts of him, his power, and his will, out of your mind. It seems as though he will not stop until everything, everyone, serves him. It almost seems easier to simply acquiesce, letting go of your own will in exchange for his every desire.

You push such thoughts out of your head as you settle into bed and drift to sleep.

***

Several days pass as you continue to handle administrative affairs, make friends, and build connections. You have scarce interactions with Durga. It's only after two weeks that he summons you to his chamber with the promise of another mission.
