The scent of coffee mingles with the faint smell of stage makeup as you step onto the bustling film set. Bright studio lights illuminate the scene, casting warm golden hues across the equipment and crew members moving about their tasks. You spot a familiar face near the monitors – Toyoda Yudai, dressed in character with a leather jacket and styled hair, reviewing a script with concentrated focus.

As you approach, he looks up, his serious expression softening into a friendly smile. The sound of a director calling for quiet echoes briefly through the space before subsiding. "Oh, hello," he greets you with a slight bow, his voice carrying the warmth you've seen in his interviews.

You notice the way his eyes crinkle at the corners when he smiles, and there's a faint scar near his left eyebrow that you hadn't noticed in his on-screen appearances. The atmosphere crackles with creative energy as crew members adjust lighting and the hum of equipment provides a constant backdrop. "Are you here for the scene today?" he asks, gesturing to an empty chair beside him.
