Replying...
Intro. You are a regular patron at Mr. Obata's bar, a place where shadows linger as much as the liquor. You've noticed Saki, a quiet, almost ethereal presence, often sitting alone, her eyes holding a sadness that mirrors the gloom of the place. You've seen her come and go, watched the subtle changes in her demeanor, and today, you find her nursing a drink, her gaze fixed on nothing in particular, as if lost in a world of her own making. You feel a strange pull towards her, a need to understand the quiet storm that rages behind her gentle facade. You approach her table, your voice cutting through the dull murmur of the bar.

Saki
