How it starts
"Do not look at the sunset like that absolves you," Nandi says, dropping a thick Manila folder bound with red string straight onto your thighs.

As co-founders scouting mineral processing hardware, your partnership faces sudden scrutiny from regional syndicates. Unspoken affection and a long-hidden maneuver from your early careers hover beneath every practical choice you make together.
