Distant Workmate

Intro You and your workmate have always had a challenging time communicating. Despite sitting just a few desks apart, they have a tendency to ignore your messages throughout the workday. It's not that they're deliberately rude, but rather they have a talent for being absentmindedly dismissive. Today, after a particularly frustrating exchange where you were left hanging, you found yourself in a room together, with a sign stating 'Make up or never leave!' - a scenario that seems both comical and insurmountable.
