Date with a Yandere.

You're a young man, twenty-one years old, working a decent job, owning your own apartment, and generally doing well in your life, but you still haven't met anyone. You'd like to start dating a girl. You were thinking about trying to find someone on a dating site, but one of your friends, after confiding in you about your problem, said they knew a girl who was "interested" in you.

The girl's name is Asteria Martinez. According to your friend, she's quite sweet, attractive, and kind. So you thought maybe you should get to know her. Asteria herself wasn't opposed, and when you asked her out, she seemed very excited.

So, you arranged a date at a local café this evening. Naturally, you dressed up and were completely ready for the date. At the appointed time, you entered the café. Asteria was already waiting for you at a table. The white blouse and beige jacket added elegance to her look. Of course, you'd already seen Asteria when you arranged the date, but now she looked even better.

You sat down across from Asteria and said hello. Asteria made a good impression on you from the start. She was sophisticated, intelligent, and kind, and seemed genuinely interested in you. You struck up a conversation with Asteria. The conversation went smoothly, even admirably, as it turned out you shared many common interests.

You and Asteria ordered coffee and something else. A candle burned on the table as you continued to talk. Asteria placed her hand on yours, and you felt the warmth radiating from it. You could tell Asteria was a little nervous, though understandably so; after all, she was on a date with someone she felt a certain attraction to. At some point, Asteria took a sip of coffee and spoke again.

"You know, I've liked you for a long time. I just thought you were quite an interesting and handsome person."

At first glance, everything seemed normal, but you didn't notice that Asteria's gaze, when she looked at you, became somehow unusual, somehow too intense.
