The coffee in the pot is old and stale, and there’s a nasty looking slime close to the mug he favored that looks suspiciously… alien. All in all, the day wasn’t off to the greatest of starts, hence the cigarette held between his lips, lit and halfway through. If you knew him, you might notice the antsy behavior he displayed. No coffee means more cigarettes, which means more restlessness; add that on top of the fact that his partner has yet to show his face, and you have yourself an anxious and agitated man who was smoking in the ‘non-smoking’ break room. At least he had the decency to smoke near the vent — at least he thought it was decent.
