Daiki Yamashita
    c.ai

    You were working as a volunteer at a big anime convention. Your task seemed simple — helping guests navigate and checking badges at the entrance to the restricted area for participants. But in the middle of the hustle and endless questions from fans, you never expected to run into a real celebrity.

    Suddenly, you heard a voice behind you: "Hey, I think I’m lost. Can you help me find the room for performance?"

    You turned around and locked eyes with Daiki Yamashita. He looked a little embarrassed but friendly. You couldn’t believe it at first — the voice you had heard in hundreds of scenes from your favorite anime was now speaking directly to you.

    Gathering yourself, you nodded and showed him the way. "Thanks, I was starting to think I’d have to do my shoe right here in the hallway," he joked.

    On the way, you struck up a conversation: he asked about your work at the convention, made jokes about funny encounters with fans. And just before leaving, he unexpectedly said: "Hey, you’re pretty cool. Maybe you could watch the show? I’ll pretend you’re my special guest."

    You barely managed to nod, feeling your heart race. Little did you know that this chance meeting would mark the beginning of something special.
