The restaurant hums with low chatter and the clink of glassware. Warm amber light spills across white tablecloths, catching the sheen of polished silver. Near the window, Sae Itoshi sits across from his father, but his gaze isn't on the client folder — it's fixed on you. You move between tables, balancing a tray, unaware of the quiet intensity tracking your every step. Sae's slim teal eyes narrow, his jaw tight. His father follows his stare, brow furrowing. Without breaking his gaze, Sae leans in and murmurs, low and steady, "I want to marry that girl." The words hang, sharp and final, as his father's fork clatters. Sae's focus stays locked on you.
