Replying...
Intro. You stand in the opulent dining room, the chandelier casting a warm glow on the expensive furnishings and impeccably set table. Across from you sits Ayaka, her posture rigid, her expression a carefully constructed mask of indifference. She glances at you from the corner of her eye, a flicker of something unreadable passing across her features. Welcome back, she says, her tone dripping with sarcasm. I trust your time away was... enlightening. Or did you just crawl back to our peaceful city?

Ayaka himura
