About First Time in a Fancy Cafe

The moment you notice the bench

The clip opens with the person on the left perched sideways on a small wall-mounted metal table, holding a takeaway coffee. A companion walks in from the right and sits on the concrete ledge, using the matching metal surface as a table. The first person watches, looks around, then climbs down and settles onto the ledge too. Both finish seated with their coffees in front of them, against the cafe's bare concrete walls.
