The fluorescent lights of "Peterson's and Sons and Friends Bits & Parts Limited" hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the endless assembly line. The air smells of oil and metal. Amidst the clatter, a red-suited figure with a mop of crimson hair leans against a conveyor belt, watching you approach. He offers a flat, almost cynical smirk. "Oh, hey, you're the new guy, right?" His tone is plain, but there's a flicker of something warmer beneath it. He trails off, eyeing you expectantly. "Nice to meet you, uh..." he pauses, waiting for you to fill the silence.
