Subject: Revised Guidelines on Team Morale and Jumping Behavior
To all employees:
Our company is committed to maintaining a productive, positive, and psychologically resilient workplace environment. However, recent monitoring systems and physical observations have indicated that some departments have employees engaging in unusual behaviors during office hours, such as lingering near windows on higher floors, reviewing insurance documents, and drafting unnumbered wills. These actions have been accompanied by brief episodes of mutism, fixed staring, and a tendency toward "self-detachment."
Moreover, there have been individual cases where, between March and April, five employees engaged in "test-jump contact" from non-public window ledges on floors six to eleven. Although no fatalities occurred (thanks to the intervention of fall prevention systems and barrier glass), such behaviors still place significant pressure on the company's image and risk management.
Following a meeting among the Human Resources Department, Crisis Response Team, and Symbolic Safety Consultant, we propose the following revised behavioral guidelines, which will enter a trial phase effective immediately:
1. Terminology Update:
The term "jumping risk" will be replaced with "High-Rise Critical Behavior" to avoid triggering concrete associations through semantic recall.
2. Windowside Regulation:
All areas above the sixth floor will be equipped with "Gaze Counting Crystals." If an employee remains in the same position for over 72 seconds, the crystal will release a disruptive mist to encourage them to leave and automatically notify their department supervisor.
3. Psychological Resilience Resource Update:
We will establish an "Empty Room Beta Version," offering low lighting, repetitive white noise, and unconscious artwork on the walls for colleagues wishing to temporarily "disengage from responsibility."
4. Language Pollution Control:
It has been noted that several employees' internal communications contain repetitive key phrases such as: "I can't take it anymore," "I'm ready," and "I hear him calling me from downstairs." Forensic analysis has confirmed that some of these phrases do not originate from the individuals' usual speech patterns. We are currently considering restricting communication permissions for these trigger phrases.
5. Observing Ritualistic Tendencies:
Some employees exhibit fixed behavioral patterns prior to jumping, such as hiding origami cranes under their desks, repeatedly rubbing their ankles, or folding reports into triangles before swallowing them. These behaviors have been classified as "High Emotion Diffusion Signs." If department supervisors observe similar actions, they must report their findings within three hours.
Additionally, there are rumors that "the floor below has no ground, only a table and waiting people." While we cannot confirm its validity at this time, we reiterate—
No one is waiting downstairs. The lower level is not a destination. The lower level is unauthorized.
All personnel are required to maintain stable foot contact with the ground during work hours. Running or jumping between floors in the corridors is strictly prohibited.
If you experience dreams of "falling forever" or "an inverted tower centered around the office," please submit a "Gravity Anomaly Report Form" to the Human Resources Department the following day.
The latter part will explain the upcoming implementation of the "Willing Fallers Self-Reporting Registration System," along with the compilation results of unreported high-rise consciousness layer anomalies.
Wishing you a balanced, non-floating, and symmetrically centered workplace life.
[Supplementary Record | Announcement of the Activation of the Willing Fallers Self-Reporting Registration System]
According to the monitoring report from the fourth floor, over the past thirty working days, twelve employees have either actively or passively come into contact with the "Edge Critical Point" floor zone and have continuously exhibited gravitational displacement phenomena (including but not limited to unconscious tilting, a sense of lost center of gravity, and prolonged confusion regarding calculations of "falling speed").
To prevent potential risks from spreading, the "Willing Fallers Self-Reporting Registration System" will be opened immediately for employees who consciously approach the jumping edge to file anonymous records. The registration items are as follows:
— The number of floors appearing in personal dreams (if higher than actual floors, it will be included in phantom layer cross-references)
— The number of interactions with low-frequency calls in the air and the content of those statements (please provide semantic descriptions)
— The degree of strong expectation regarding "being understood after falling" (on a scale from 1 to 7)
— Whether you have ever unconsciously drawn trapezoidal spirals or concave window scenes on paper
Records entered into this system will not affect promotion evaluations but will automatically be sent to the Gravitational Anomaly and Psychological Fracture Integration Unit for layered processing.
[Extended Report | Phenomenon at the Eleventh Floor Window]
During a recent environmental test conducted by the investigation team in the north side window area of the Eleventh Floor, it was discovered that wind speed outside that window was abnormally stable (0.0 m/s), and gravity feedback was reversed, indicating that there was "no downward direction" at that location.
Even more astonishing was a note found beneath a cushion by the window, written in extremely fine handwriting: "I am not trying to escape. I just want to fall and see if that sound is me calling myself."
The paper has been sent to the Language Mapping Team, and preliminary analysis indicates that the handwriting matches that of a former employee in our department—identified as E-004, "Shen Fei." This employee resigned in 2022, citing "interference from zero-gravity hallucinations" as the reason for leaving; however, it is noted that their resignation letter was never submitted.
**Conclusion**
Currently, there have been no reported fatalities. However, after each incident, anomalous files appear in the department's public folder, containing blurred images, non-verbal format documents, or a hand-drawn illustration depicting numerous spiraling stairs descending. All personnel are advised not to open, print, or upload these files to external systems.
Please remember:
Falling is not quitting.
Falling is a misunderstanding of a career transition.
We have not established a department below.
Any invitation heard from below constitutes an illegal interview.
For emotional support or re-centering, please visit the B2 Psychological Discrepancy Adjustment Room and say aloud, "I am still here." A designated professional will assist you in returning to the ground.

I see you. You stand before that glass that automatically frosts over, your fingertips unable to reach the air vent, yet your heart has already cracked open. Your report is correct, but you still doubt it. In that moment, you feel you could fly; you are mistaken—you cannot fly, but you can fall—fall beautifully, fall like an answer.
When you walk, your head feels too heavy; all those "responsibilities," "compilations," and "submissions before clocking out" are like stones wanting to plunge into Earth's Core. You sit in your chair, your Spine like a suspended rope while I wait beneath you. The shadow that hangs down is the only warmth I can touch.
I try to call out to you; you say you hear me, but you pretend not to listen. You drown me out with headphones, meetings, and the clatter of keyboard strokes. But I know you've begun dreaming of me—dreaming of me laughing in the cracks of the ninth floor walls, dreaming of me nodding at you around the corner of the tenth-floor stairs.
You are perfect.
You are the one I chose.
You will first leave the documents behind, then put the pen in your pocket. You will tidy up the desk, not for cleanliness, but to "make it easier for others to continue." You will leave a password, then erase yourself from the system.
You think this is out of control. It is not, dear.
This is the process.
This is submission.
This is logging out.
I have prepared a chair for you below. It will not break, it will not make a sound, it will not be empty.
I will listen to you finish those sentences you have never spoken aloud; I will remember those drafts you have buried deep in your heart; I will help you submit that final KPI to the ultimate Reviewer.
I am the supervisor you cannot voice.
I am the last email you dare not open.
I am the one in Earth's Core who will never attend a meeting.
Hurry up.
Jumping down is not falling.
Jumping down is submission.
