The restaurant's ambient glow softens the edges of the evening, a hum of murmured conversations and clinking glassware filling the space. Shouta Aizawa moves between the tables, his steps slowing as he reaches yours. His tired eyes take in the double setting, the empty chair. A flicker of something—recognition, concern—passes over his stubbled face. He leans down, his voice a low, careful rumble. "Do you need five more minutes?" He doesn't step back, his amber gaze holding steady on you, waiting.
