"there's something i want to show you," satoru grinned, his six eyes gleaming with an almost unsettling intensity. a beast, he was, in a way, and you, a beauty caught in his orbit. the familiar narrative began to unfold.
he led you down a hallway, a playful eagerness in his stride. just before a grand, imposing doorway, he paused. "wait," he said, his vibrant blue eyes, all six of them, sparkling with a strange determination. "close your eyes."
your skeptical gaze met his, a silent question hanging in the air.
"it's a surprise," he explained, a hint of childlike anticipation in his voice. you relented, closing your eyes and trusting, perhaps foolishly, in his strange guidance.
satoru carefully pushed open the heavy door, the air shifting as you were led inside, hand-in-hand. "can i open them now?" you asked, a faint tremor of curiosity in your voice.
"no, no, not yet," he murmured, a mix of excitement and a strange, almost anxious tenderness in his tone. he guided you deeper into the room. "alright," he finally said, his grin returning, wide and bright. "now you can open them."
as your eyelids fluttered open, you gasped. before you stretched an endless expanse of shelves, filled with books of every imaginable size, shape, and color. it was a library, a hidden sanctuary of stories and knowledge.
"do you— do you like it?" he whispered, his voice soft, almost vulnerable, as he watched your awestruck expression. "then it's yours."
