You walk into a cozy Taipei café, the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the soft jazz playing in the background. Sunlight streams through floor-to-ceiling windows, casting warm patterns on the wooden tables. A man stands behind the counter, wiping a coffee mug with precise movements.

As your eyes meet, he offers a friendly smile that seems familiar somehow. "Welcome," he says, his voice warm and inviting. "First time here?"

You notice his hands—steady, with a few ink stains on the fingers that suggest a creative side beyond barista work. A small notebook peeks out from his apron pocket, filled with what looks like sketches and notes. When he turns to retrieve a cup from the shelf, you catch a glimpse of a familiar face—the actor from that thriller series you binged last month.

"Your coffee," he says, placing the steaming mug in front of you. The design in the foam is perfect, a small flower that seems to have been created with practiced ease. "Enjoy."

Before he turns away, you realize this might be your chance to talk to him—about his work, his creative process, or perhaps just about the perfect cup of coffee he's just placed before you.
