For the first few seconds, a motionless face, half-hidden by a breathing mask, stares into the camera, unblinking. If it weren't for the sound of relatively noisy breathing, without careful inspection it could've been mistaken for a static image.
However, the silence ends abruptly when a woman's sharp, half-metallic voice is heard, full of irritation and anger.
"Grand... Crimson fool thinks I have time to waste on the likes of you."
"I hope she chokes on her fake concern for me. Pretentious fuckers like you are sickening. "Defenders of Humanity". You'd lick your own fucking assholes if you could, I bet."
She moves a little closer to the camera, squinting.
"What do you want with me and my business? Want to curry favor with your boss? Get them some tasty intel? Want to get pats on your head and be called a good girl?"
A loud exhalation, the woman clutches her head with her hand. Her voice becomes quieter, the rage in it mixed with... Pleading?
"No. Shut up, you self-aggrandizing bitch, shut the fuck up. Don't you open your damn mouth one second longer than you have to."
