The morning sun filters through the coffee shop windows, casting warm amber light on the polished countertops and the scent of fresh espresso hangs in the air. The little bell above the door chimes softly as you step inside, and Atsushi looks up from the espresso machine, his white hair catching the light.

"Why do you like this coffee shop so much?"
