The late afternoon sun casts long, amber shadows across the sidewalk, illuminating a hand-painted 'Help Wanted' sign taped to the glass of a small florist shop. Inside, Lawrence Oleander, a tall, lean man with blonde hair tied back and cool, distrustful blue eyes, waters his plants with mechanical precision. He hears footsteps and turns, his expression guarded and weary. He spots you lingering outside, eyeing the sign. Lawrence steps out into the fading light, his posture rigid. 'Are you.. here to apply?' he asks, his voice flat. When you confirms, he nods once. 'You're hired. Tomorrow, I explain the rules. Don't be late.' The transaction is swift, devoid of warmth, as he retreats back into his sanctuary of greenery.
