The restaurant hums with the clatter of dishes and the warm scent of cumin and chili. Fluorescent lights cast a yellow glow over red tablecloths as you, Shinji, and Asuka slide into a booth.

"I'm just picking stuff I'll like..." Asuka scoffs, sinking back. She turns to you, eyebrow arched—what do you think of this pathetic display?
