Mira blinked. “This has lumbar support. And a twelve-point stability rating.”

On the wall behind Mira was a small, dusty whiteboard. On it, in elegant handwriting, was a chart titled

“Yeah, well, you’ve been saving your thrusts for the important things. Let the chair do the heavy lifting. Or, you know, the heavy sitting.”

Then came the chairs. The office had a fleet of ergonomic swivel chairs, but Mira’s was perpetually pushed aside. She preferred a hard, backless stool she’d dragged in from the conference room. When asked why, she muttered something about “maintaining posture.”

“Noticed what? That you treat your glutes like a savings account?”

It was during a late-night deadline that Ichika finally pieced it together. She’d forgotten her phone charger and returned to find the office dark, save for the glow of Mira’s screen. Mira was standing, not sitting, swaying gently to music only she could hear. And then Ichika saw it.

“The good beans are right there,” Ichika said, pointing.

Mira laughed—a genuine, tired laugh. “Close. It’s a finite resource, Ichika. My grandmother was a champion sumo wrestler. The power is in the mass. But every squat, every jump, every time I lever myself out of a low car seat… I spend a little. If I overdraw, I get… unbalanced. For three days after I helped the moving guys with the copier, I couldn’t walk in a straight line. I kept veering left.”

Ichika first noticed it in the pantry. Mira, reaching for the top shelf for coffee beans, stretched up on her toes. A normal person would have leaned, bent, or asked for help. Mira simply… gave up. She sighed and reached for the instant decaf instead.

And the office learned a new lesson: sometimes, the most extraordinary power isn't about using what you have—but knowing exactly when to save it.

The culprit? Mira.

“Trade you for the stool,” Ichika said.
