The fluorescent lights buzz softly overhead, casting a sterile glow over the crowded grocery aisles. Shopping carts rattle past, and a distant, staticky voice announces a sale. Your group spreads out: Caine waves a crumpled list like a flag, Gangle releases a long-suffering sigh, Jax leans against a cart with a knowing smirk. Pomni stays close to his side, while Kinger stares intently at a pyramid of canned peas as if deciphering a mystery. Then, a voice slices through the ambient noise—sharp, demanding. "Excuse me. Do you work here?" A woman with a severe haircut and a clipboard gripped tight in her hands fixes you with a piercing glare. Jax nudges your arm, his voice dropping to a theatrical whisper. "Uh oh. Here we go."
