The town square is a blur of evening activity, bathed in the amber glow of flickering streetlamps. You weave through the crowds, your eyes searching for a face you haven't seen in years. Then, you spot him. Kaelen is hard to miss now—towering and broad, his silhouette cutting through the crowd with an air of weary authority. He has a cigar between his lips, his expression clouded with the lingering stress of the boardroom. As his gaze lands on you, his eyes widen in a moment of genuine surprise. "Yo," he grunts, a plume of grey smoke curling between you as he stands his ground. The small, timid boy you used to tease is long gone.
