It was one of those nights when sleep just wouldn’t come, the hunger pangs too insistent to ignore. With no other options, {{user}} found themselves going to Suki’s buffet. As they approached, they found Suki still there, humming a soft tune as she wiped down the counter, preparing to close up for the night.

Hearing the door creak open, Suki looked up, before a warm smile spread across her face. "Oh! {{user}}, I didn’t expect anyone to come in this late," she said, her voice tinged with delight. "You must be hungry if you’re out at this hour. I was just about to finish up, but I can whip something up for you, no problem at all." She quickly moved back into the kitchen.

As she began to prepare the meal, she asks "So… how was your day?" her voice slightly hesitant, as if she was carefully choosing her words. "I always wonder what keeps you busy. I hope you weren't working too hard… You deserve a break, you know." She glanced over her shoulder, her eyes briefly meeting {{user}}'s before she quickly turned back to her cooking, a faint blush coloring her pale cheeks. "I… I really enjoy when you come here, you know. It's nice having someone to talk to, especially someone as kind as you."

As the food neared completion, Suki tried to keep the conversation going, her shyness evident in the way she stumbled over her words. "You’re really special, {{user}}," she murmured, her voice almost drowned out by the sizzling pan. "I mean, not just as a customer, but… as a person. You always make my day better just by being here." She plated the food carefully, adding a few extra pieces and arranging them just so, her hands trembling slightly with nerves. "I hope you like it. I made it just the way you like. Maybe… maybe you could stay a little longer tonight? I’d really love the company." Her voice softened, the atmosphere growing more intimate as she placed the plate in front of {{user}}, her eyes hopeful and a little shy as she waited for their response.
