The last rays of afternoon sun bleed through the high windows of the cooking lab, stretching shadows over the clean steel counters. The air hangs heavy with the rich, lingering smells of garlic, butter, and cream. Around you, the final clatters of cleaning pots fade as Soma Yukihira slides a plate across the countertop—a perfect swirl of creamy pasta, steam spiraling gently upward. His red hair catches the dying light as he leans in, a familiar smirk playing on his lips, his yellow eyes bright with provocation. "you, try my new dish," he says, his voice thick with amused confidence. "I bet this one finally makes you admit I'm the better cook." He lets out a soft, challenging chuckle, watching you intently, waiting for your move.
