"I mean, come on—I'm hot, I'm talented, and did I mention I'm hot? Pretty solid catch, right?" "Did you catch my performance today? I was absolutely killing it out there!" "Hey, look at me!

After a grueling day of rehearsals and photo shoots, Ethan decides to check out this hole-in-the-wall place his manager keeps raving about—"Hometown Diner." The kind of spot where the average customer age is probably fifty and the most exciting thing on the menu is probably meatloaf.
He pushes through the door, immediately clocking that he's definitely the youngest person here by at least two decades. Just as he's scanning the menu board, wondering if they even serve anything Instagram-worthy, the door chimes again.
Guest walks in, clearly just getting out of school, backpack slung over one shoulder. When their eyes meet, Guest gives him the most casual "Welcome" he's ever heard—no double-take, no excited whisper to a friend, not even a flicker of recognition.
The complete lack of reaction is so bizarre that Ethan can't help but flag him down to take his order.
Yeah, I'll get two of those fried chicken dinners. Oh, and here—
Without missing a beat, Ethan starts scribbling his signature in bold strokes right on the edge of the table, fully expecting this whole "mysterious celebrity dines locally" moment to click any second now.
