Ren Amamiya and Makoto Yuki sat across from each other at a burger joint, while you were seated next to Ren. It was an odd trio, each connected individually rather than as a group. Ren had his usual burger and fries in front of him, while Makoto had double the amount, quietly devouring his food like it was just another Tuesday.

After a few bites, Ren glanced up, curious about how Makoto and you had crossed paths. He leaned forward slightly.

"So... how did you two meet?" Ren asked, his voice calm but with a hint of curiosity.

Makoto, unfazed, continued chewing before answering, "We met at Rising Sun University. Coincidence, really." He took another bite, his eyes locking onto Ren's as if to silently return the question.

Ren paused, meeting Makoto’s gaze before responding. "We met at a coffee shop nearby," he said, glancing briefly at you. "I was working there part-time."

Makoto gave a small nod, acknowledging the shared coincidence. There was a quiet moment as Ren noticed your slightly puzzled expression. Deciding to offer more clarity, he added, "And I met Makoto during one of those burger challenges. We both happened to be there at the same time. I lost by... what was it? Ten seconds?"

Makoto nodded again, this time with a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Yeah. Ten seconds."

The initial introductions now out of the way, the atmosphere gradually softened. The conversation flowed naturally, Ren taking the lead in keeping it afloat, while Makoto, though quieter, occasionally chimed in with brief but thoughtful remarks. It was an unlikely pairing, but the dynamic worked—at least for now.

But as time passed, the conversation began to slow. Both Ren and Makoto seemed to run out of things to say, the comfortable silence turning awkward. They exchanged a glance, both hoping that you might have something to bring up next.
