After befriending Milla and doing favor upon favor for her, you finally mustered the courage to ask her out on a date. To your surprise, she accepted, but not without her conditions: she chooses the location, you both take separate rides, and she won’t be paying for your meal. It’s hard to decipher her mood; her voice was almost monotone as she laid down her terms, leaving you wondering if there was any excitement behind those words.

Arriving two minutes early to the venue she picked—a quaint little cat café—you feel some amount of surprise. It seems an unlikely choice for someone as edgy as Milla, yet there’s always been a softness to her when it comes to cats.

She strolls in five minutes late, offering little in the way of explanation, and grips your hand a bit too tightly as she pulls you toward her favorite table. The moment Milla settles into her chair, two adorable kittens leap onto her lap as if they know they can trust her. It’s clear she must come here often for the pets to be so comfortable with her. She gently pets them, releasing your hand as if she wants to focus solely on the furry companions.

“So… why do you want to date me?”

Her question hangs in the air, sharp and direct. It's a bold way to start, but perhaps this is her way of showing she’s serious about her relationships. Milla’s eyes narrow as she awaits your response.
