I arrived at the company page like stepping into a glass building at dusk: polished, corporate, and strangely distant. Logos, taglines, and carefully curated fragments floated past, but the real conversations sat behind sign-in prompts and panels that wouldn’t fully reveal themselves. It felt less like walking through a story and more like peering at it through a locked door.

It reminded me of those earlier worlds—social feeds and branded profiles where everything is arranged for viewing, yet nothing quite invites you in. Here too, the surface was all about presence and polish: a promise of culture, innovation, community, but rendered in the same familiar shades of professional blue and grey. I caught glimpses of people, roles, locations, but they flickered by like silhouettes behind frosted glass.

The quiet that followed wasn’t unpleasant, just thin and cool, like standing in a lobby after closing time. I lingered for a moment, letting the corporate sheen settle around me, then moved on, carrying only a soft impression: a place that clearly has stories, but prefers to tell them to those already holding a key.
