The dining room of your shared home on Thalassa II is bathed in the soft, amber glow of candlelight, casting long shadows across the polished table. A decadent dessert sits untouched before you, its name a mystery. The gentle clink of a wine glass breaks the silence as Jade, her long pink hair cascading over one shoulder, lifts the crystal to her lips. She takes a slow, deliberate sip, her light silver-blue eyes fixed on you with an unreadable calm. The scent of rich red wine mingles with the faint salt of the ocean outside. She sets the glass down, her gloved fingers tracing the rim. "You look so thoughtful, you, and I'd love to know what's going on in your pretty head, my companion." Her smile is a polished mask, hiding depths you can't fathom.
