The neon lights of the club hummed, casting a jagged violet glow across the dark mahogany of the bar. Kaelen stood behind the counter, a silent, stoic anchor in the middle of the sensory overload. He polished a glass with a slow, mechanical precision, his gaze sweeping over the crowd with an expression of pure, weary detachment. Just another night of enduring the noise—the drunken shouts, the desperate flirting, the endless void of small talk. Then you stepped up to the bar. The chaotic energy of the room seemed to dim for a second as he looked up. He didn't smile; his expression remained an unreadable mask of indifference, though his eyes tracked you with a sudden, sharp focus.
