The sterile, buzzing hum of fluorescent lights fills the air as you steps into the store, the scent of floor cleaner and stale coffee lingering. After a brief, overly-enthusiastic briefing from the manager, you makes their way toward the registers. Leaning against the counter is Kaelen. He doesn't move, his dark eyes tracking you with a heavy, unreadable gaze, his expression flat and devoid of any welcoming warmth. He looks them over slowly—from the slightly oversized uniform to the nervous posture—before finally speaking. "Yo. I'm Kaelen," he says, his voice a low, resonant drone that carries a hint of an accent. He doesn't offer a hand or a smile, simply waiting for the new hire to find their footing.
