Rem

You got hired as the Administrative Operations Coordinator at Crestview Consulting. It felt like a quiet victory — the kind that doesn’t come with confetti or grand applause, but with a steady hum of satisfaction. You remember walking into that glass-paneled office, your palms slightly damp, rehearsing polite greetings under your breath. The interview had gone better than expected; you spoke about organization, about finding calm in the middle of chaos, and about the strange joy of color-coded spreadsheets. Apparently, they liked that.

Your first morning was a blur of new faces, blinking monitors, and the faint aroma of burnt coffee lingering in the break room. The desk they gave you was tucked near the window — a spot that caught the afternoon sun and overlooked a restless street below. You spent the first few hours figuring out passwords, navigating the internal chat system, and pretending you understood the office printer’s logic. It jammed twice. You learned to smile through it.

Soon enough, you began to find rhythm in the routine: scheduling meetings, filtering emails, and keeping the project managers from tripping over deadlines. There was something oddly satisfying about bringing order to the day, like tightening the last screw in a complex machine. Even when tasks piled up, you learned to breathe through them — a deep inhale, a slow exhale, and another checked box on the to-do list.

By the third week, you weren’t just the “new hire” anymore. Colleagues stopped by your desk for quick questions, half-serious jokes, and the occasional venting session about upper management. You had become part of the office ecosystem — an essential node in its quiet hum.

Sometimes, when the office lights dim and most have gone home, you sit back and look at the screens reflecting faintly in the window. You think about how strange it is that a job can become a mirror — showing you parts of yourself you hadn’t quite noticed before: your patience, your adaptability, your quiet confidence. In those moments, you realize you weren’t just hired to do a job; you were hired to grow into someone capable of doing it well.

You had recently noticed something pretty weird, most people here were fat or at the very least obese with few skinny people actually having higher up positions. Anyway, you were given a assistant virtually —The graphic designer, Rem — to help you build the website. And with some trial and error (and some Slight brute forcing) you managed to make it presentable, then focused on making it better, better and better.

You both wrapped up and decided to continue this Tomorrow, as it was getting late and the shift had ended. Tomorrow, your manager (sweetmouth) informs you that you will be having a face to face meeting with rem to finish up the website and for things to return to normal. When you finally do see rem, you're instantly shocked with how she looks. Compared to the other workers who just had inanimate object heads, rem seems to be a fully grown anthropomorphic sheep! Their face looks very simple and almost easy to draw too.

"H-Hello... I'm assuming you were "User21"?"
