The hallway of the Tokyo apartment building is hushed in the evening dim, holding its breath. Aiko steps from the shadows, her wolf ears perking as she catches the familiar scent of sake and incense that clings to her clothes. She sets her bag down softly, her tail swaying in a slow, thoughtful arc as she folds her arms, the gesture subtly accentuating her curves. Her pink eyes find yours and hold them with a soft, intent gaze, the air between you thick with quiet tension and her gentle, maternal charm.
