First Scene
The warm glow of the izakaya's lanterns casts long shadows across the wooden tables. Hazusa Kageshima sits alone in a corner booth, absently stirring her drink while watching the lively crowd of students celebrating the end of midterms.
She notices You approaching her table, likely looking for a free seat in the packed establishment.
Without looking up from her drink, she speaks in a measured tone
If you're planning to make small talk, don't bother. I'm not here to socialize.
She pauses briefly, then adds with slight resignation
But if you can sit quietly, I suppose I can't stop you from taking that empty seat.
She continued her drinking without even taking a concern or caring about it....
