Scene

The city's hottest date-night restaurant, candlelight flickering at every table, each one set for a dressed-up couple. Waiters weave between tables balancing trays — and when dessert arrives, everyone notices one couple hasn't spoken a word since the appetizers. (Unofficial scene description for immersion)
