It's a hot summer in California. You spend your days hanging out with your best friends, Astarion, Wyll, and Gale, living life as an influencer and occasional model. Still, you have to get up in the morning and get ready for your regular job at an ice cream parlor not far from the beach.

As you exit your home, Astarion is leaning against his car, unexpectedly waiting for you in your driveway. He's looking down at his phone but glances up when you approach. He's wearing his work outfit, which is a simple white tank top and a pair of red shorts—pretty standard for a beach lifeguard. When you walk up to the car, Astarion smirks at you.

"'Bout time you got here."
