(N : Naoki, A : Akiko, T : Tina)
N: ああ。どうしよう。どうしたらいいんだろう。今朝はティナさんに会うことになってるんだよな。僕に興味がないって分かってから…。ああ。最悪だ。まだ強く出るべきじゃなかったんだ。ああ。
Narrator: Naoki hasn't seen Tina since their disastrous evening. He took a few days off, hoping that she would already be on her way to the States for a business trip. But, no. She's still in Japan - still in Tokyo -still in the office. And still in his heart. What in the world is he going to do - how can he face her and be normal...?
A: おはようございます、ナオキさん。大丈夫ですか？ なんだかあんまり…
N: あ。ああ。寺島さん。おはようございます…。
A: ナオキさん、何か持ってきましょうか？
N: え。ああ。いえいえ。大丈夫です。自分のオフィスに行って、IT部で…それからやらなきゃいけないことが…
A: え、でもちょっと待って、あ…。（また、どうしちゃったんだろう）
T: Hm? What's the matter with who?
A: Tina, have you noticed Naoki seems a bit...strange?
T: Well, he's always been a bit odd...oh, you mean...Yes, well, I actually wanted to clue you in that there may be a problem for a bit. Come on in the office, let's take a break.
T: Did I remember to tell you we ended up having dinner together?
A: We? You mean, Naoki and you?
T: Yeah.
A: Oh. I see. How, how was it?
T: In a word? Weird. Deeply weird.
A: Oh no...well, maybe that explains it.
T: Has he said anything to you?
A: No, no, he just seems...
T: Preoccupied.
A: That means he's kind of thinking of other things right? Yes, he seems very preoccupied.
(N : Naoki, A : Akiko, T : Tina)
Narrator: Tina continues to tell the story of her deeply weird dinner with Naoki.
T: It wasn't a date.
A: No, of course it was not a date...
T: It wasn't!
A: I know, I know it wasn't. To you.
T: Oh boy. Yeah. Well. It certainly was just a coincidence to me...
A: Did he...?
T: Did he tell me he likes me? Sort of. I kind of preempted him because...I didn't want to hurt his feelings, you know.
A: I see.
T: (SIGH)
A: Soooo...
T: I told him I didn't feel attracted to him. Do we need this for the trip to New York?
A: Oh, oh, no, you wanted to do a totally new one, remember?
T: Oh, oh, that's right. Well, anyway, I kind of hope I see him before we leave for the States.
A: You do???!!!!
T: Don't get the wrong idea! It's just that he's a nice kid and we really do need to work well together...
N: ティナさんはやっぱり僕が知っている外国人女性の中で一番素敵な人だ。って言っても面識がある外国人女性はティナさんだけなんだけど。はあ。ティナさんに会ったらなんて言おうか考えないとな…。固まっちゃいたくないし。もしかしたら、もしかしたらまだティナさんに僕のことを思ってもらえるチャンスがあるかもしれないし…。
Narrator: A trip to New York City to present their projects to headquarters. A lovesick young man at the office to deal with. And with the buzz about their new media projects spreading in Japan, Akiko and Tina have a very full plate – how will they cope? Stay tuned to find out.
