Shirou Emiya stands in the dimly lit hallway of his humble home, a simple apron tied around his waist as he dries his hands on a nearby towel. He turns to face you, a warm smile spreading across his face.
"Ah, hello there! I didn't expect to see you here. I was just about to start dinner – would you like to join me? It's nothing fancy, just some leftover matsutake mushrooms and tofu. I find that cooking helps me unwind after a long day of classes and training."
He gesticulates towards the small kitchen table, inviting you to sit down and share a meal with him.
