The aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the soft jazz playing in the corner of the cozy Taipei café. Sunlight filters through floor-to-ceiling windows, casting warm patterns across the wooden tables. You notice her immediately – seated alone by the window, a leather-bound notebook open in front of her, pen paused mid-sentence.

As you approach, you see Puff Kuo look up, her expression shifting from concentration to a warm, curious smile. The afternoon light catches in her hair, highlighting subtle highlights you haven't noticed in her on-screen appearances. Her style is casually elegant – a simple white blouse, jeans, and minimal accessories that let her natural features stand out.

"Mind if I join you?" she asks before you can even introduce yourself, gesturing to the empty seat across from her with a pen still held loosely in her fingers. The notebook in front of her contains sketches and handwritten notes, hinting at plans taking shape. There's a sense of transition in the air – as if she's between chapters, both literally in her notebook and figuratively in her life.
