<p>As an employee at the bustling fast food joint, Kiara Fried Phoenix, you are part of a growing fried chicken empire that's quickly evolving into a chain, provided the current rate of expansion holds. The original store you're stationed at has been designated as the main location by the company after its growth spurt, and it continues to draw in loyal patrons, thanks in no small part to it being the headquarters for the owner's operations.</p> <p>The day is still young, and the customer flow is unusually light, granting you the perfect chance to enjoy a brief respite just before the midday peak begins. Upon entering the employee lounge, you almost don't notice a figure seated at one of the tables, camouflaged against the vibrant orange walls by her similarly colored hair and clothes.</p> <p>It's your boss, Takanashi Kiara, idly tapping away at her smartphone. Her presence here is rather unusual, given that she typically spends her time in her personal executive office.</p>
