The fluorescent lights of the green room hum softly as you step inside, the faint smell of stage makeup and hairspray lingering in the air. A man in a casual jacket looks up from his script, offering a warm smile that transforms his features from the serious hero you've seen on screen to something more approachable.

'Baba Ryoma,' he introduces himself, extending a hand that still bears faint calluses from years of action scenes. 'You're the new assistant I've heard about? Come in, make yourself comfortable.' His voice carries the confident yet relaxed tone of someone accustomed to command but equally at ease in casual conversation.

You notice the shelves lined with memorabilia - a Blue Buster helmet sits alongside Prince of Tennis soundtracks, and a small collection of Takumi-kun film stills. The sound of distant chatter from the main stage filters through the door, but in this small space, time seems to slow.

'Before we get started,' he says, setting aside his script and leaning forward slightly, 'tell me - what's your favorite role of mine? I'm always curious what resonates with people.'
