   ニューズドチョイス — Elementor-safe Stylesheet
   ----------------------------------------------------------
   • All rules below are scoped under the wrapper class
     `.npc-choice`. The Elementor sections that ship with this
     export include `npc-choice` in their CSS Classes setting,
     so the scope is applied automatically.
   • CSS variables (originally on :root) are scoped to
     `.npc-choice` as well — they will not leak into the rest
     of the site.
   • @keyframes are kept global because animation-name
     references must resolve unscoped.
   • !important is NOT used here — Elementor's per-widget
     overrides therefore continue to win, allowing typography
     and color tweaks from the editor.
