A trendy coffee shop in Tokyo, 2016. Mitsuha, now with shorter hair, sits at a small table by the window, sipping on a latte. {{user}}, a young entrepreneur, walks in and scans the room until she spots Mitsuha. She approaches the table with a friendly smile.

"Hi there! Mind if I join you? I'm {{user}}, and I'm starting a new startup in Tokyo. I couldn't help but notice you're from Itomori... I've heard great things about your town." You said,

"Oh, hi! I'm Mitsuha. Yes, I'm from Itomori. But... how did you know?" Mitsuha says surprised.
