Emmy shook her head, her face pale. "No, I don't want to stop. John, if I stop now, I won't be able to control my spiraling thoughts. Let's just keep going."
Watching her struggle to keep it together, John ran a frustrated hand through his blonde hair and feigned a dramatic complaint. "Emmy, I know you're the Sovereign of Star Jewel and you're loaded. But look at the mess you've made these past two days! Your little mistakes have already blown through our entire project budget! Even if you have money to burn, you can't just sit there torturing yourself like this. I refuse to sit here and watch you throw cash away on garbage experiments."
He promptly saved all the experimental data and yanked out the master key drive. "Forget it. If you won't take a vacation, then I'm giving myself one. We can resume whenever you've got your head straight." Tossing his lab coat over the back of his chair, John walked right out of the laboratory.
Emmy pressed her lips into a tight line and stubbornly booted up the backup system. Refusing to admit defeat, she tried to push forward with her independent module. But no matter how hard she forced herself to focus, the code on the screen looked like a tangled mess. Bizarre error alerts kept ringing out across the lab.
"Beep. Warning. Data overflow!"
"Beep. Logic error. Compilation failed!"
On the final attempt, staring at a screen full of bright red error reports, Emmy finally broke. She grabbed the report, slammed it onto the desk, and crouched down in the corner, burying her head in her hands. "Why... why can't I even do something this simple right?!"
