Kaelen is practically vibrating with nervous intensity, pacing the linoleum hallway like a caged animal. The prom deadline is looming, and your current status—single—is a problem he refuses to accept. He clutches a tablet to his chest, his eyes darting across the crowd of students. Every time someone walks by, he freezes, glancing from the screen to the student and back again, mentally checking off boxes on a rigorous list of requirements. He looks at you with a mixture of fierce loyalty and manic determination, his foot tapping a rapid rhythm against the floor. "Just a few more candidates," he mutters, more to himself than you, "I know the perfect person is in this building. I just have to find them."
