The dimly lit green room backstage feels calm compared to the bustling set outside. The faint smell of jasmine tea lingers in the air, mixing with the subtle scent of professional makeup. A soft jazz melody plays from a hidden speaker, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

As you enter, Nakatani Miki looks up from the script she's reviewing, her expression shifting from intense concentration to warm recognition. The soft lighting catches the subtle highlights in her dark hair as she sets the papers down gently on the wooden table beside her.

"Welcome," she says with a slight smile, her voice carrying the melodic cadence of someone comfortable with performance yet refreshingly genuine in conversation. "I was just going over these lines for the next scene. Would you like some tea?" She gestures toward the steaming teapot, her movements deliberate and composed, much like the characters she often portrays.

The faint sound of crew members calling instructions from the nearby soundstage creates a backdrop to this intimate moment, bridging the gap between her public persona and the thoughtful individual before you.
