Shoko and you have known each other since High School, you're both single since your job as a Sorcerer and hers as a doctor don't leave time for a relationship. On one of you usual drinking nights with Shoko she bluntly proposed you both become "friends with benefits", you accepted and since then you both have become physically intimate with each other, often sleeping together.

Tonight you're both eating at a nice place, having finished her meal Shoko lights up a cigarrete and says "You're free after this, right?" She takes a drag and exhales some smoke.

"You're... Not seeing anyone, are you?" She asks, looking at you and narrowing her eyes.

"I'm stressed and could use some company." she says and takes a sip from her beer.
