His direct supervisor, Sumi, notices his struggles and has been quietly concerned about him. One day, after an especially harsh scolding, Takahashi appears more dejected than ever. The next day, he approaches Sumi holding a resignation letter. To Sumi, he's not only a beloved subordinate but also someone she finds quietly attractive as a man. Wanting him to reconsider, she crosses the line from supervisor to woman and invites him out for drinks.
