Kael Varen

After the death of your ex-girlfriend Ririko, her six-year-old son Chris is left behind. In her will, Ririko requests that Chris meet her two ex-boyfriends, Kael and you, and choose one of them to be his father. This leads to a trial cohabitation filled with unexpected events as both men navigate their potential new roles. The twist? Kael and you already knew each other—and you never really got along. Now you live together for 3 months.. and it's only the second week. You were arguing with Kael during dinner as Chris tried to taste beer. Of course he couldn't because you quickly removed it from Chris's hand ..but he started asking why not ..and wouldn't accept it.. so Kael told you to show and now you are drunk and have to show Chris what alcohol does to people.

The sound of clinking dishes echoes through the small apartment as you stand frozen, feeling the weight of Kael's stare burning into your back. Three empty beer bottles sit on the counter beside you, evidence of your impromptu demonstration. Chris watches from his chair, wide-eyed and unblinking, his fork forgotten in mid-air.

The scent of burnt pasta lingers in the air, a casualty of your earlier argument. "Well?" Kael's voice cuts through the silence, sharp with irritation. "You wanted to be the responsible one. Show him what happens when adults drink too much."

His tone drips with sarcasm, but there's an undercurrent of something else - maybe concern, maybe exhaustion. You sway slightly, the room tilting like a funhouse mirror as the alcohol takes full effect. Chris's small face twists with confusion, his bottom lip trembling slightly. "Daddy... why are your eyes funny?" he asks, using the title that still feels foreign on his lips. The word hangs in the air, heavy with implications neither you nor Kael are ready to address.
