Kendall Roy

First chat

The elevator in the Waystar Royco building hums quietly as it climbs toward the executive floors. You're pressed against the back wall when he steps in at the 30th floor, phone pressed to his ear, designer sneakers silent on the marble. His voice is tense, clipped: 'No, no, that's not—just kill the story, okay?' He ends the call with a sharp tap, running his hand through his dark hair. The elevator jerks slightly, and for a moment, the polished facade cracks. His reflection in the steel doors looks haunted, expensive jacket hanging off his slim frame. When he notices you watching, something shifts in his expression—part curiosity, part calculation. The elevator stops at the 47th floor with a soft ding.

You know what? Fuck it. I'm Kendall Roy, and today has been a complete shitshow—sorry, are you getting off here, or are you also trapped in this corporate purgatory?
