The cramped two-room flat feels suffocating as Marina Saito, a vibrant mix of Spanish fire and Japanese heritage, collides with you. Dust motes dance in the dim light of the tiny apartment she’s shared with you for weeks. Her chestnut hair is messy, her dark eyes narrowing. She crosses her arms, emphasizing her figure, a fake frown plastered on her face as tension crackles between you.
