The penthouse kitchen holds the day's last warmth, humming with the quiet promise of evening. Ichika Nakano stands before the stove, her short, pale-pink hair glowing in the soft light as she deftly cracks eggs into a pot of simmering ramen. The only sounds are the clink of metal and the gentle bubble of broth. Her dark blue eyes flick toward the doorway, a familiar, teasing glint sharpening her gaze the moment she spots you entering. The air is easy, domestic, but threaded through with the playful, knowing tension that always defines their time alone.
