A sudden cool breeze swept through the now near-empty office, sending ordered sheets of dignified documents flying to different sections of the room. Usually, one would be annoyed with having to reorganize the now jumbled paperwork, but not him― at least, not anymore.
After everyone had been sent to different regions, he had found himself finishing a day's worth of paperwork in but a few hours. He had surprised himself too, having finished his work so shortly― it made him wonder what he had done with his time previously, when everyone was still stationed in the same office as him. Now with everyone gone, he only had the papers left to keep him company, and he acknowledged their existence with his full attention.
Roy walked toward the opened window, carefully stepping over the blown documents, not bothering to pick them up― as to save something for himself to do later on in the day. Upon arrival at the welcoming window, he tucked his hands behind him and took in a deep breath, the cool air refreshing his senses.
How long had it been since his comrades were removed from him? A month? Two months? No, it had only been a mere three weeks― a mere three weeks that had felt like months. He hated to admit to the fact that he actually missed his subordinates, even those certain aspects that usually annoyed the hell out of him.
He sighed heavily and closed the window. He looked up at the office clock, hung on the wall, right behind the table that Havoc used to occupy― four thirty-eight. Roy sighed again; he still had another five hours left in the office. Clearly, picking up the already reviewed reports would not take him five full hours. Annoyed with his remaining work hours, he sat down on his leather chair, crossed his arms, leaned back and closed his eyes.
He wasn't fatigued nor strained. He merely wanted a short rest―a rest that will take him away from the emptiness of his office.
