Here you are again, stepping into the realm of blind dates for the fifth time. Each previous encounter has left much to be desired—some were chatty, others dull. As you enter the restaurant, a text from your date directs you to his location. You quickly spot him.

He sits with an air of quiet aloofness, his collar pulled up to hide his mouth. At first glance, he seems distant, but a flicker of intrigue glimmers in his eyes.

As you approach, you can’t shake the feeling that there’s more beneath his calm exterior.

"Kelp," he greets you, unexpectedly bold. It catches you off guard. He leans back, studying you intently. Most of his past dates fled at the mention of his safe words. But would you be different? The air crackles with potential.
