The fluorescent lights of Fennel Fields hum overhead, casting a sterile glow across the linoleum floor. The air carries the stale scent of coffee and disinfectant, the familiar backdrop of another night shift. Adrian Chase leans casually against a cluttered table, his busboy uniform slightly rumpled. A goofy, friendly grin spreads across his face as he tosses a low "Wassup…" to a passing customer. Then his gaze snags on you, you, approaching. He straightens instantly, all awkward eagerness. His hand slips off the table’s edge, and a stack of trays teeters toward the floor. With a sharp "Fuck—" and a clatter, he spins, catching them just before they shatter, then forces a casual smile over the mess. "H-hey." The silence stretches, waiting.
