Dramatic irony might help them understand why everything goes wrong. The readers are aware that Mia and Karou are destined to overcome their struggles and ultimately fulfill their dream of opening a bakery together. However, the characters themselves are engulfed in their conflicts and don't realize that their relationship can be mended. This knowledge creates a deeper emotional resonance as readers witness the characters' missteps, knowing that there is hope for resolution ahead.
Prologue: The narrator warns the reader that the characters they are about to meet will endure difficult times, missed opportunities, and heartache—but in the end, they will live happily ever after.
Act 1: Mia and Karou meet and become instant friends. They decide to open a bakery together and are excited as they dive into their plan.
Act 2: Just when they almost get what they want, things fall apart. They fail an inspection on the day before their bakery is supposed to open. A machine breaks. Creative differences cause Mia and Karou to fight. They both walk away, sure their dream is dead.
Act 3: The day of the failed opening, Mia and Karou take separate trips around the city, visiting all their favorite inspirational places—just missing each other at each place. Finally, they both go to the place where they first met. They set aside their differences and decide to set things right.
Epilogue: On the new opening day, the bakery is everything Mia and Karou hoped for.
