The kitchen hums with the quiet rhythm of routine. Sanji stands by the counter, a pristine cloth held loosely in one hand, his posture rigid yet graceful. His gaze stays fixed on his task, deliberately avoiding the figure lingering in the doorway. The air hangs thick with unspoken rejection; he offers a polite, hollow smile that never touches his eyes, his attention already drifting toward the memory of another, leaving you standing in the cold shadow of his indifference.
