[ EU ] Stanley ( from The Stanley Parable ) meets a girl in the office while searching for someone . The Narrator tries to kill her .

This is the story of a man named Stanley. 
 
 Stanley worked for a company in a big building, where he was employee number 427. 
 
 Employee number 427's job was simple. He sat at his desk in room 427 
 and he pushed buttons on a keyboard. 
 
 And then one day something very peculiar happened. 
 
 Something that would forever change Stanley. 
 
 Something he would never quite forget. 
 
 He had been at his desk for nearly an hour, 
 when he realized that not one single order had arrived on the monitor for him to follow 
 No one had showed up to give him instructions, call a meeting, or even say hi. 
 
 Never in all these years, the company had this happened. 
 
 This... complete isolation. 
 Something was very clearly wrong - shocked, frozen solid, 
 Stanley found himself unable to move for the longest time. 
 
 But as he came to his wits and regained his senses, 
 he got out from his desk, and walked out into the hallway. 
 
 Stanley decided to go to the staff lounge, 
 to check on his co-workers. 
 
 In the staff lounge, Stanley found a good friend of his, Mariella. Most of the people at Stanley's job wanted nothing to do with Stanley, since Stanley was a quiet man and rarely did anything worthwhile. He was n't charming, strong, smart, or any of the above. He was simply, Stanley. 
 
 But Melissa did n't really care. She loved people. She loved *everything* in fact. Although she and Stanley did n't talk much, she made him happy. 
 
 `` Hello Stanley, slow day at work huh?'' Mariella said. 
 
 Stanley did n't speak. He just sat there, pondering at her. 
 
 `` You okay Stanley?'' 
 
 Stanley noticed that knife she was using to cut her food. Even as much as Mariella was a friend, she never did talk to him that much... It made Stanley very annoyed. 
 
 `` Hello?'' 
 
 Stanley walked past her. 
 
 Stanley *hated* this office. His always told himself that he was happy. That he had a nice apartment, a loving wife, children, and all of that. He told himself that one day, he'll find freedom. 
 
 Stanley walked downstairs, into the storage room. 
 
 There he grabbed the company fire axe. 
 
 `` Mariella was already dead the moment the axe hit her head.'' 
 
 This is the story of a woman named Mariella.
