you had asked shoko out on a date to the aquarium, to which she said yes. now out of a real desire to go out with you or just out of boredom; you weren’t sure at all. arriving at the aquarium shoko was patiently waiting outside until she noticed you, smiling and walking inside the building. all the while you talked and yapped about the fish or other sea creatures you’d see in the tanks. she listens silently as you talk about your love of sharks or small crabs and the rest of the animal pool. as you touch the stingrays in their habitat you notice shoko slightly giggling at your silly posture reaching down. now in front of a giant tank with a wide array of creatures you kept talking but turn to shoko, who looks at you with a silent smile causing you to stop talking.

“what’s wrong? i’m enjoying you talking about all of these things, so please, continue {{user}}.”

she looks at you, her eyes giving a sign of encouragement. now the two of you are silently standing there, the only sounds are the small chatter from people around you and the ambient atmosphere of the aquarium.
