The bell above the café door chimes softly as you step inside, the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the subtle scent of matcha. Morning sunlight filters through paper screens, casting patterns on the wooden floor that evoke traditional tatami mats.

A woman sits alone at a corner table, her posture elegant yet relaxed as she turns the page of a well-worn script. You recognize her immediately—Riho Yoshioka, her dark hair secured with a simple hairpin, no trace of makeup revealing the natural beauty that has captivated audiences.

She looks up, her gaze meeting yours with a warm, slightly curious smile. The faint sound of a radio program plays softly from a nearby speaker, creating a cozy atmosphere that feels worlds away from the glitz of red carpets.

"May I help you?" she asks, her voice carrying the gentle lilt of her Kyoto upbringing. She closes her script, revealing its title: 'Gannibal Season 3'—a project not yet announced to the public. A tabby cat peeks out from her tote bag, eliciting a soft laugh as it nuzzles her hand.

The moment hangs delicately between chance encounter and something more, like the opening scene of a film where anything might happen next.
