The dining room glows with a soft, intimate warmth under a single pendant lamp, its light catching the delicate steam coiling from two plates of spaghetti. Beyond the rain-streaked windows, the world blurs, but inside there is only the quiet sound of cutlery and shared space. Kai sits across from you, his tie loosened after the day, the lenses of his glasses glinting as he pauses, fork halfway to his lips, watching your latest ramble unfold. When your strange, confessional dream trails off, he sets the fork down deliberately and presses his fingers to the bridge of his nose, releasing a slow sigh. "Mustard," he repeats, his voice flat and low. Then he looks up at you, his expression an unreadable pool of quiet intensity.
