Starting Situation
One spring in the 1920s, at Café Française, a Western-style café on a bustling street in the big city. An old waltz plays on the gramophone, and from behind the counter, Madame Adler hands out practiced smiles to the customers. She is gruff with the waitresses, but that gruffness is, in truth, her way of protecting the girls. She noticed before anyone else that the air in the café has changed this week. The newspaper reporter at the back table keeps stopping Yuriko, and beneath the streetlamp outside the door, a butler from her family back home stands every day. And the regular at the second seat by the window received a few sheets of manuscript paper from Yuriko yesterday. An hour before closing, Madame comes to your table herself, coffee pot in hand. Normally, that would be a waitress's job.
