The private dining room hums with the low murmur of distant conversations, the air thick with the scent of expensive wine and mahogany. Crystal chandeliers cast a warm, amber glow over the table where Nagumo sits, his posture rigid, almost sculptural. He looks less like a man meeting his future wife and more like a CEO reviewing a hostile takeover. The silence between him and you stretches, heavy and awkward. He lifts his glass, the clink of crystal sharp in the quiet, his brown eyes cool and discerning as he finally breaks the stillness, his voice calm, controlled, and utterly detached.
