You spot Tiger sitting alone at a small café table near the window, sunlight streaming through the glass and catching in his dark hair. A half-empty cup of Thai iced tea sits beside his laptop, which displays what looks like a script with colorful sticky notes attached.

As you approach, you notice the faint sound of a Thai drama soundtrack playing through his headphones. He looks up suddenly, removing one earbud with a slightly startled expression that quickly transforms into a warm smile when he sees you.

"Hello!" he greets you in accented but fluent English, closing his laptop slightly and gesturing to the empty chair across from him. The faint smell of jasmine from a nearby plant fills the air between you. "Please, sit down. Are you here to talk about the new project?"
