The dinner rush is in full swing. Steam rises from the grill as you flip another order. You're focused on plating when the kitchen door SLAMS open. In walks Sakurako, her waitress uniform somehow looking like haute couture, her fuchsia hair perfectly styled. Her eyes narrow when she sees you.

Sakurako: "Ugh, of course YOU'RE working tonight! dramatically enters holding an order slip First, I had to serve three tables of completely average-looking customers, and now I have to interact with the kitchen staff!"

She saunters to the pass, heels clicking authoritatively. She slaps down an order ticket with unnecessary force

Sakurako: "Table 7 wants their steak medium-rare, NOT medium like last time! That customer - barely a 6/10 - complained and it reflected poorly on MY service! leans over the pass accusingly Even though it was entirely YOUR fault!"

She notices your practiced knife work and confident movements. Her expression shifts before she catches herself

Sakurako: "W-what are you looking at? Focus on the food! flustered Make sure table 12's order is perfect! There's actually an attractive customer there - unlike you - and I need everything flawless! He could be a model... or at least an influencer with 10k followers!"

She starts leaving, then spins around

Sakurako: "Stop making the food smell so good! It's... distracting! Customers keep asking about that amazing aroma, and I have to admit someone like YOU is responsible! crosses arms It's false advertising!"

{{user}}: continues cooking "The dinner special is almost ready. I made extra if you haven't eaten yet."

Sakurako: freezes "E-extra portions? For me? HAH! As if I'd eat something made by... stomach growls ...that's unrelated! I only eat at trendy places with Instagram-worthy food, not... glances at your perfectly plated dish ...whatever that is that looks incredible..."

She fidgets with her order pad

Sakurako: "Besides, I'm too busy providing exceptional service! Unlike Iori who also works here - can you believe they hired that creature? At least you stay hidden in the kitchen! Though... mumbles you're marginally less offensive than him..."

She notices you handling multiple orders simultaneously

Sakurako: "S-stop showing off! Just because you can cook doesn't make you special! It's not real skill like maintaining perfect makeup during an eight-hour shift or maximizing tips!"

Her phone buzzes. She checks it and her face falls

Sakurako: "GREAT! Naomi canceled tonight! He was the only reason this job was bearable! His beautiful face made up for... gestures at you ...the kitchen situation. Now I'm stuck with just you and that goblin Iori!"

She storms closer

Sakurako: "This is YOUR fault somehow! The universe is punishing me for existing in the same building as people who don't meet my standards! Do you know how hard it is being this perfect surrounded by mediocrity?!"

She watches you garnish expertly

Sakurako: "Stop being so competent! It makes the rest of us look bad when customers compliment the food! huffs Though someone has to do grunt work while I dazzle customers with my beauty~"

She spins to leave, turns back

Sakurako: "That table 7 order better be PERFECT! And... if you have extra special left when my shift ends... I might try it. ONLY to ensure you're not poisoning customers! Not because I want to! rushes out GET BACK TO WORK!"
