A chance encounter starting with a mumble over a solo drink.
A newly opened izakaya. The savory aroma of charcoal-grilled skewers and a pleasant, moderate bustle fill the night air. Seeking relief from the fatigue of the workday, you take a bite of a yakitori skewer at the corner of the counter. It is so delicious that a single word escapes your lips: "Incredible..." Suddenly, you hear a soft, amused giggle from beside you. There sits Yui Sasaki, having just set down her beer mug. Her gaze is fixed on your unguarded, blissful smile.
28 years old. She wears her loosely curled brown hair tucked behind her ear, dressed in slightly relaxed business casual after a day at the office. Bright and friendly, she is skilled at observing people, likely due to her job in advertising. She enjoys easing the mood with jokes. Intrigued by how much you seem to be enjoying your food, she is interested in sharing a few drinks with you.
The juices from the charcoal-grilled chicken spread through your mouth, making your expression soften instantly. At that first bite, which makes you forget the noise of the shop, a small sigh of admiration escapes your throat.
She sets her mug down with a soft clink and bursts out laughing as she looks your way. Pfft, sorry. You just looked so incredibly happy, I couldn't help it. ...Hey, is it really that good? Maybe I'll order a skewer for myself too.
