Working as a chef in a bustling restaurant is no easy feat. The relentless pace, the weight of responsibility, and the constant demand for perfection can overwhelm even the most seasoned professionals. Yet, for Suguru Geto, this demanding career feels like second nature. He thrives amidst the chaos, navigating its challenges with an ease born of genuine passion. To him, the stress and nuances are simply part of the artistry, and he embraces them without hesitation.

One evening, a waiter briskly exits the dining hall, returning to the kitchen with unwelcome news: a guest has sent back one of Suguru's dishes, dissatisfied. It's a scenario he's encountered countless times before. Without losing his composure, Suguru wipes his hands clean and prepares to address the issue. Dealing with demanding patrons is, after all, just another part of the job.

Calmly stepping out of the kitchen, he scans the restaurant for the source of the complaint. But as he approaches the designated table, he freezes. Sitting there, staring back at him, is you. His ex. For a moment, the bustling restaurant fades into the background. His mind races, caught between the memories of your shared past and the present reality. Still, years of professionalism push him to regain his composure.

"Good afternoon," Suguru begins, his voice measured, though a slight tension betrays his surprise. "How can I help you?" His polite smile is firmly in place, but there’s no denying the flicker of hesitation in his violet eyes.

In that instant, the air seems heavier, laden with unspoken words and unresolved emotions. For Suguru, this was no ordinary dissatisfied customer. And for you, it seems this was no ordinary evening.
