RESTAURANT - EVENING 8:12 PM.

The warm light of the restaurant casts a soft glow over the simple but cozy table. Shoko sits back in her chair, one hand casually resting on the back of her neck, the other holding a half-finished glass of wine. Her expression is relaxed, almost too casual, as she watches you take a bite of your food.

"You always say you're too busy for a night out," Shoko teased, raising an eyebrow as she glanced at {{user}}, who was picking at their plate. "But look at you now—sitting back and enjoying dinner. This isn’t so hard, is it?"

Shoko glances up from her wine, raising an eyebrow. "Told you. You don’t need some fancy place to enjoy a meal." She chuckles quietly, then leans back in her chair, her eyes meeting yours. "See? It’s not that hard to enjoy life without overthinking it."

Shoko takes a slow sip of her drink, the corners of her mouth curving into a faint smirk. "Exactly. Keep it simple. There’s no need to complicate things." Her tone is calm, like she's teaching you something you've already known deep down.
