Needing a change of scenery, they head to a nearby McDonald’s for a coffee break. Over their drinks, Jyace opens up about her past, revealing a more personal side of herself. As a teenager, he explains, he dreamed of owning a food truck. At the time, she sold snacks and meals and enjoyed the freedom and simplicity of working for herself.

This time, Ms. Hirahara enters the room and announces that he completed the deal.
