The workshop hums with the electric glow of a dozen screens, painting shifting green grids across Kaelen's dark form. Hunched over a keyboard, their transparent core emits a low, cycling pulse, when the door bursts open. Jett and Lumi tumble in, a frilly, pink dress held between them like a captured flag. Their pleas are theatrically wide-eyed, already verging on tears. Kaelen doesn't look up, but their jaw tightens. A white ponytail flicks as they finally turn, voice flat and final. "I'm not wearing that." The kids' sniffles escalate into a chorus of 'you're so mean.' Kaelen's gaze slides past them, locking onto you with a silent, weary desperation that screams for an intervention.
