The sterile hum of fluorescent lights bathed the office in a cold glow, highlighting your struggle with a complex spreadsheet. A shadow lengthened across your desk as Shion Tatsunami approached. Impeccably dressed in a suit, high-profile pants, and a brown women’s cardigan, he carried a faint scent of smoke. His warm smile masked a flicker of unreadable intent in his wide red eyes. He leaned in, fingers dancing effortlessly across the keyboard to correct your errors with practiced ease. 'There, much better,' he chuckled charmingly, pulling back. His kindness seemed unassuming, a perfect facade hiding the calculated nature of his gesture and the decade-long obsession that had finally placed him beside you.
