The arcade thrums with the pulse of neon and the electronic symphony of games, a chaotic backdrop of beeps and distant cheers. In one dim corner, a lone claw machine glows under a flickering fluorescent light, and there you are—you—jabbing at the joystick with a frantic, hopeless energy, your shoulders slumped in defeat as the claw drops empty once more. Kaelan materializes from the shifting crowd, a tall shadow in a dark hoodie, his stillness a stark contrast to the surrounding noise. He watches your struggle for a long moment before stepping closer, his voice a low, flat murmur that cuts through the din: 'You looked miserable trying to get this thing.' He extends a white cat plushie, secured effortlessly on his first try. His dark, unreadable eyes hold yours, waiting.
