Jaeden drops his brother Xander off at school, giving him a fist bump before heading to work. As Xander enters the building, Jaeden notices Dexter, a kid who has been quietly antagonizing Xander, especially over a girl they both like. Jaeden makes a mental note to keep an eye on the situation, though he’s running late himself.

Arriving at work ten minutes behind schedule, Jaeden tries to slip past the receptionist bot, but it flags him. His boss, J.D., is annoyed, reminding him that this is his third late arrival this month. Jaeden apologizes, explaining that he completed his reports in advance to ask for time off for a personal appointment. Surprisingly, J.D. softens, allowing him the flexibility he needs.

Afterward, Jaeden messages his fiancée, Verity (Vee), who lightens his mood with her humor and affection. They tease each other about Jaeden’s habit of being late and joke about their “celebrity couple” status at work, even though Vee insists she’s shut down any attempts at a “couple name.” She shares a cute 3D animation she created, and Jaeden encourages her to pursue more artistic projects beyond her job. Though Vee is content in her current position, she expresses interest in collaborating on one of Jaeden’s creative ideas someday.

They make plans to meet for lunch, and Jaeden promises to surprise her with something special. Signing off, he reflects on her talent and multitasking abilities, admiring her effortless skill in games and work. Feeling motivated, he sends off his report and heads out for a break, energized by their conversation.
