It introduces Sally, a dedicated typewriter at Bonsfield & Co., who draws the attention of a man who observes her from the street. Their first interaction hints at a budding connection fraught with tension, as she becomes aware of his pursuit while grappling with her own sense of independence. This initial encounter sets the tone for the narrative, establishing Sally's inner conflict between societal expectations and her personal desires, which is further explored as she reflects on her choices and aspirations.
