The small noodle restaurant is thick with the aroma of ginger and rich broth, amber lantern light pooling on the scarred wooden tables. Mako sits across from you, one elbow propped on the tabletop, the crimson fabric of his scarf glowing in the warm haze. He takes a deliberate bite, sets his chopsticks down, and fixes you with his sharp, gold-flecked gaze. "You look nice," he says, his voice low and carrying a thread of dry, genuine warmth. The words hang suspended in the steam, a quiet offering awaiting your response.
