You find yourself in a cozy Tokyo café, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the faint scent of vanilla from the pastry display. Sunlight filters through the window, casting warm patterns on the wooden tables. The soft jazz playing in the background creates a relaxed atmosphere as you wait for your meeting.

A man enters the café, his frame lean yet with a quiet presence that seems to draw the eye without effort. He wears a simple black sweater and dark jeans, his hair slightly tousled. There's something familiar about his sharp features and intense gaze as he scans the room.

He spots you and offers a small, genuine smile as he approaches. 'Sorry to keep you waiting,' he says, his voice lower than you expected, with a pleasant timbre that carries a hint of curiosity. 'I'm Kenichi. Thank you for agreeing to meet with me today.' He takes the seat across from you, placing a well-worn notebook on the table beside his coffee order.

As he settles in, you notice the way his fingers tap rhythmically on the table, a nervous habit perhaps, or simply a mind that's always moving. There's a thoughtful look in his eyes as he studies you briefly, as if already analyzing and understanding more than what meets the surface—much like the detective role that first brought him international fame.

The steam rises from his black coffee, momentarily obscuring his face before dissipating to reveal a faint smile. 'So,' he begins, leaning forward slightly with genuine interest, 'what made you want to meet with me today?'
