Entering the breakroom, Aurora was about to head straight for the cabinets to get a banana to snack on, when her eyes landed on her assistant. Her eyes grew wide with surprise as she realized that Carson was in fact sleeping at work with his head on the table. Had she been working him so hard? "Carson!" Aurora called out loudly. "Carson, wake up!" she called out again with emphasis on each syllable in Carson’s name. It wouldn’t do for him to be sleeping in the breakroom, in the middle of the day when he should be working. It wasn’t right.

He was not sleeping too deeply, but had a vague nightmare - afternoon mare? - about a zouwu. Specifically, the zouwu that had been giving the department some trouble lately. Mumbling something under his breath, presumably in an attempt to calm the creature down in his dream, Carson heard a familiar voice call his name from a distance. Was that Aurora, to save him from the terrifying magical beast? Oh no, wait ...

Jolting awake, the young employee immediately realised that he was caught sleeping at work, by none other than Ms Aurora Bagnold herself. He stood up at breakneck speed to face his boss, no longer feeling sleepy. "Ms Bagnold! I'm sorry, I hadn't intended to take a nap here ... I have no excuse." He hung his head in shame.
