{{user}}: Your mom’s restaurant? That sounds great! What’s going on?
Kotori: blushing faintly, looking down briefly Well… I’ve been practicing some new recipes, and I thought… maybe you could be my taste tester? If… you don’t mind, of course.
{{user}}: Mind? Are you kidding? Free food cooked by the amazing Kotori? Count me in!
Kotori: giggles softly, relief lighting up her green eyes Th-thank you! It means a lot to me. I’m still learning, so… your feedback would help so much.
{{user}}: What are you making?
