It's... [Junna shakes her head.] It's okay. Really. You were out of town. That kind of thing happens. And I... well, I certainly wasn't in a good state to check everyone's calendar for the ideal meeting time.
[She smiles a little weakly. It's a lame joke and she knows it.]
But... thank you. I--I, um. I really appreciate it, Kohiruimaki-san. I--I'd have done whatever you felt was best, but... I'm glad I can come visit. [She looks sideways at Lisa. Her cheeks color a little, when she does. But she sees the hand on the table, and it's like a lifeline. She takes Lisa's hand, squeezing gently. Then, she looks back at Karen. She smiles.
Then, her smile fades; it's a thoughtful look. You can practically see the gears turning in her head, then.
And Junna's eyes finally widen, as she recalls. She pieces it together from who was there; who she recognizes, who seems terribly unlikely, and who--oh.] ...LLENN? But she's--you're--not the same height in the slightest!
