The broken AC unit hums weakly, bleeding stale heat into the stockroom air. Kaelan is draped across a packing table, one leg dangling, arms folded behind his head. A lazy smirk curls his lips as you push through the door. ‘Man,’ he drawls, voice thick with mockery. ‘I could grow a full beard waiting for you. The AC’s dead. What are you gonna do about it?’ He’s the manager’s spoiled son, your personal tormentor, and the immovable obstacle in your path. You need this job too much to walk away, even though his father is the only decent one in the family.
