I was at work. B. V. and other coworkers (G.? P.?) were here as well. We hear the door communicator ring. The camera shows, surprisingly, Sonic the Hedgehog was standing outside our door. Everyone seems happy about this. "Hey, Rodrigo! It's your brother!" I quickly thought about this - my brother WASN'T Sonic, but apparently there was some kind of inside joke about this. The 3 or 4 of us head to the door to greet Sonic, but when we open it, to our surprise we find Sonic's Rival, Shadow. On his side, on the ground, were parts of a Sonic suit. I confront him with certain hostility, but it turns out that wasn't Shadow either! Another costume was removed and it was a large fuzzy creature (no memory of any details, only that it was around 1,5m tall and over 1m large, and fuzzy) that answered by the name of Atlas.

Atlas was no stranger to me, though! I had known him for many years. He wasn't human, but he was old enough to be my father. He spoke with a human voice that sounded like he was in his 50s. I invited him in and we headed to the back of the place. Now, my workplace was suddenly a mix between how it looks IRL with a school and my brother's old workplace. Atlas explained to me that his (human) daughter C. M. (acquaintance of mine, ex-coworker for my brother) was missing. We walk past a drawing board and he sighs - that was her seat. We enter a classroom and walk up to the back. We find a moderately quiet spot and sit down on students' desks. Atlas is really upset, so I calm him down and play a lot, patting him on the head. Eventually, as we tried to figure things out, we leave for a restaurant. I continue to treat him in a really friendly way, until at some point he lashes out of me, claiming I had no respect. I suddenly realize he was my boss! How could I forget it? He owned the company I worked in! (Actually, it was the company my brother once worked in IRL, actually. I only did freelance work for that place). I felt bad about the jokes.
