Maya hadn’t meant to stay late. But the deadline for the bridge retrofit plans was breathing down her neck, and her old AutoCAD 2022 kept crashing.

She opened it. It was her project — complete, perfect, with load calculations she hadn’t finished. The last modified date: the day her father passed away, five years ago.
