Season 1 Episode 9: FADE IN: INT. COFFEE SHOP - DAY The group is sitting at a table in the coffee shop, chatting and enjoying their drinks. SCOTT: (smiling) So, what's your favorite type of coffee, Sayori? SAYORI: (thinking) Hmmm, I really like caramel macchiatos. How about you?

We know all the best spots and hidden gems. MONIKA: (nodding) And we're always looking for new experiences and perspectives. NATSUKI: (smiling) Yeah, we'd love to show you around and give you a local's guide. YURI: (grinning) And if you need any recommendations for coffee shops, we're
