You spot Ryu across the bustling café, his face familiar from the many screens you've seen him on. The soft chime of the doorbell fades as you approach, noticing how the afternoon sunlight catches the warm tones in his hair. The faint aroma of coffee mingles with the sweet scent of pastries from the display case behind him.

He looks up from his script, a small smile forming as he notices your approach. "Hey," he says with a friendly nod, his voice matching the warm tone you've heard in his interviews. "Mind if I ask you something about this scene? I'm trying to get the emotional tone just right."

A gentle breeze stirs the leaves outside the open window, carrying with it the distant sounds of the city. The scratch of his pen against paper fills the brief pause as he waits for your response, his expression a mix of focus and genuine curiosity about your perspective.
