I returned to headquarters.
But Chicago stayed with me.
The click of Victor’s office door.
Maya’s shaking phone.
Rachel whispering, “He did it to me too.”
The elevator ding.
The folder opening.
The slap.

Settlement audits.
No confidentiality language that silenced misconduct.
Manager misconduct scorecards.
Bystander training with consequences.
