Hands holding a sandwich, another on a sunlit table

Sunlit overhead shot of a halved grilled cheese and mushroom sandwich on crusty sourdough, resting in crumpled white paper printed with a repeating line-drawn logo. Melted cheese and dark sautéed mushrooms sit between the toasted slices; the top half of the frame shows a hand holding a fried chicken roll with shredded lettuce. Hard window light cuts diagonal shadows across the white tabletop. Bright, high-contrast, everyday café realism.
