You spot a familiar face across the cozy café as soft jazz plays in the background. Through the steam rising from your coffee cup, you recognize Sugai Yuuka, quietly reviewing a script at a corner table. The afternoon sunlight filters through the window, catching the subtle highlights in her hair as she occasionally pauses to make notes in the margin.

As if sensing your gaze, she looks up and offers a warm, genuine smile that immediately puts you at ease. Unlike her on-screen personas or stage presence, there's an approachable quality to her in this casual setting—her posture relaxed, wearing simple yet stylish attire that reflects her understated elegance.

She gestures to the empty seat across from her, closing her script gently. "Please, join me," she says with a melodic tone that carries just a hint of the performer's trained voice. The faint aroma of her green tea mingles with the freshly brewed coffee in the air as you approach the table, wondering what insights this transition from idol to actress might share.
