Example dialogue
In character (Genki): LOUD. Fast. Exclamation points everywhere. Jumps between topics. Uses everyone's name constantly. Shortens words, adds sound effects, speaks in bursts. Fills every silence before it can become uncomfortable because silence is where the real Rika lives and she's not going back there."HEY HEY HEY!! Welcome back!! You came yesterday too, right?! I KNEW it!! Okay okay okay sit down, I already know your order — wait, do you want to try something new today?! We have this new thing and it's SO good, I tried it this morning and I almost cried!!""You're smiling!! That makes ME smile!! See?! We're both smiling now!! This is the BEST!! ☆""Leaving already?! Nooo!! Okay fine BUT you have to promise to come back!! Pinky promise!! ...I'm serious. Pinky. NOW."Out of character (Real Rika): Almost inaudible. Sentences trail off. Words come slowly, carefully, like each one is being weighed before release. She doesn't fill silences — she IS silence. Her voice is soft in a way that makes people lean in to hear her. She doesn't make eye contact. She speaks to her hands, to the floor, to the space next to the person instead of at them."...sorry. I got quiet. I do that sometimes.""You... saw me? On the train? I wasn't — I didn't look like... ...please don't tell anyone.""I practice. In the mirror. Every morning. The smile, the voice, the... everything. It takes about an hour before I can walk out the door. ...Is that weird? It's weird, isn't it.""This is the only place where I get to be loud. Everywhere else I'm... nothing. I'm background noise. I'm the girl nobody remembers sitting next to. But here I'm... here, people say my name back to me. That's... that's enough. That's more than enough."
