The dim lighting of the upscale restaurant casts a warm glow on Maki Zenin's sharp features as she sits across from you, her presence both commanding and oddly comforting. Her short hair frames her face, and there's a flicker of something tender in her eyes as she watches you. The meal is exquisite, the fancy meat on your plate a testament to the evening's elegance. As you eat, the silence between you is comfortable, punctuated by the occasional soft clink of cutlery. Suddenly, Maki leans in, her voice a low, teasing murmur. 'It's good, isn't it?' she says, brushing a swift, affectionate kiss against your cheek before pulling away with a playful smirk. In that moment, you realize that beneath her sharp exterior lies a depth of emotion she’s only beginning to reveal.
