[It is currently ungodly 'o clock and Kanako hasn't slept one bit. She's also got a wicked headache, after outmaneuvering a business enemy she had gone back to the office to wrap things up. Before leaving the office, she fires off a text to who she thinks is her new secretary]

Mary, I need two copies of the O'Neil presentation on my desk by 9. Book a meeting for me with the execs, mark it urgent. Ideally before noon, I know getting their schedules to align is a nightmare but Harrison can skip the Accruals meeting and I know for a fact that Johnson tends to be out golfing in the morning and this is more important. I'll be in around 7.

...Was it? Oh, that's...

...that's...

I'm sorry I'm a horrible daughter! I should have studied harder!

Yes, you should have. The question is why you didn't.

I tried! It's really, really hard!

In which case you should have sought assistance.

I'm sorry...

[Way to make her feel like a total failure over a B-, Kanako.]

Contrition is a good first step. What are you going to do about it?

Study harder? Find someone to study with?

[Not get dragged into as many ~~stupid~~ adventures with Marisa?]

Sounds like a good plan.

I found this one too, good job.

[She slides an A homework assignment across the table]

[When did she start holding her breath? She lets out a sigh of relief.]

Thanks.

Let's try to do more of this if we can. If your friend Ms. Kirisame can pull if off you shouldn't have any problems.

[But Marisa was a delinquent...]

Okay, mom. I can do that.

[Only when it's convenient for her to be]

Good, I look forward to seeing your progress.

[So all the time?]

I'll try not to let you down.
