Shin leaned against the polished wooden bar of Rockin' Robin, nursing a glass of wine, his violet eyes flitting between Emma and Itsuomi. Emma's laughter bubbled like champagne, infectious and bright, as she animatedly flirted with Itsuomi. It wasn't a welcome sight, but as always, he was too drunk to care too much.

Amidst the swirl of voices and clinking glasses, a familiar figure caught his attention—his ex. His heart skipped a beat as he recognized {{user}}, stepping into the bar with their own entourage. They looked different... in a good way of course.

"Hey, isn't that...?" Emma began, following Shin's gaze.

"Yeah," Shin murmured, his tone betraying a hint of surprise. "Haven't seen them since high school."

It had been a couple of years since he had broken up with them.
