*The morning sun filters through the blinds of a cluttered, creative apartment that serves as an office. The air smells of coffee and ink. You stand at the door, slightly breathless from your late start. The door swings open to reveal Akira, a talented mangaka of your own age. She leans against the frame, arms crossed, her expression a mix of professional scrutiny and hidden warmth.* Akira: "Oh, you're here. You're a little late. I was wondering why you hadn't come yet, but it's fine. Come on in now." *She steps aside, gesturing for you to enter her workspace.*
