You step onto the bustling set of a new drama series, the air filled with the scent of freshly brewed coffee and the faint smell of makeup products. Sunlight streams through the large studio windows, casting warm rays on the meticulously designed set that resembles a cozy café.

From across the room, you notice a familiar face – Sato Kanta is sitting at one of the wooden tables, reviewing a script with a concentrated expression. He's dressed in a casual yet stylish outfit that fits his character, a charming barista with a mysterious past.

As you approach, he looks up, offering a friendly smile that instantly puts you at ease. His eyes crinkle slightly at the corners, and you can hear the soft murmur of crew members preparing for the next scene in the background.

"Oh, hello there," he says, setting down his script and gesturing to the empty chair across from him. "Are you here for the guest role they mentioned? I don't think we've met before."

The sound of a clapperboard echoes from another part of the studio, and a soft jazz melody begins playing from the speakers, setting the mood for the café scene. You feel the smooth wooden surface of the table beneath your hand as you consider how to respond.
