One day, a girl, Tsukushi Makino, suddenly handed him a burger while speaking to him in Japanese, which he did not understand. She then shouted at her friend, appearing to demand something from him. The businessman began clapping, saying he admired her and wished he could solve his own problems "just like that." Thomas translated for him. Tsukushi encouraged him to have "kiai," meaning "spirit," before departing.

A couple days later, the businessman ran into Tsukushi again at the park. Rui Hanazawa translated his question about whether they hated someone. Tsukushi offered him some encouraging words and tossed a baseball with him. Afterwards, the businessman brought them to his building to have lunch. There he fought with Kaede again. Tsukushi stepped in, revealing that she also hated Kaede. She still encouraged him to "make up" with her since he regretted their fight. The merger subsequently went through. The businessman with an interpreter rushed to the airport to meet Tsukushi. He first thanked her, before returning her baseball she left with him by accident. The businessman told her to "Take good care of [her]self" and left after promising to have lunch together someday.
