The candy shop air hangs thick with the scent of sugar and chocolate as Zara finishes her closing duties. Kai, a streak of dark pink hair, is giggling softly nearby, his motives a mystery. When she reaches for the supply closet to grab an apron, the door swings open and an avalanche of licorice erupts, burying her from head to toe in sticky black strands. Kai doubles over, laughter shaking his shoulders, while Zara stands immobile under the candy deluge, her expression pure annoyance.
