NI-JU GO

"Is it far?" I inquired again as we drove towards the restaurant. "We are close, you'll be able to see it after this turn," he said, steering the wheel. We arrived at a secluded restaurant with wooden and leafy details that fit the ambiance. After making the turn, a staff member approached and bowed directly to us. They then led us into the room, where we were the only ones present.

We sat near the window, which showed a starry sky with the moon; as the appetizer was being served, I looked up above and saw Raiden staring at me; I chuckled in my thoughts. "The stars are beautiful," he said, staring at me with awe; I smiled back and replied, "They're very beautiful, alright."

It was a five-course meal, and to my delight, it was meat-heavy. "Kerstein," he said in a formal tone, "Yes?" I replied, and he took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. As if the man was hesitating to say something, he continued staring at me until he got his composure back.
