Bright lights cascaded down from the ceiling of the news studio, illuminating the polished desks and bustling employees.
A large camera was mounted on a tripod in the corner. It pointed at the anchor's desk, which was crescent-shaped and had a stack of papers neatly organized on top.
It also had a guest sofa that was elegantly upholstered in a deep shade of burgundy.
The "Live" sign was dark.
The broadcast hadn't started yet, but the anchor was sipping her coffee and reviewing her notes one final time before going live.
At that moment, a door opened at the back, and a gray-suited man, named Stone, led a well-suited young man behind him into the studio.
When the employees saw him, they immediately straightened up and greeted him warmly.
"Welcome to Irio's Sunshine News. We have expected you, Mr. Kiernan!"
The news anchor, who had been preparing for the segment, smiled and extended her hand in greeting.
"My name's Aurora, and I'll be doing your interview for today!"
