Hey Satoshi, just checking to see if you’re doing ok!
You weren’t your normal cheery self at study group
SATOSHI
I’m fine, don’t worry!
Just a tad overworked atm
MAXI
NO idea how you do it, honestly
If I was running a business on top of studying for this bastard exam, I’d die. I’m drowning when all I do is work in someone else’s.
ISAMU
Any progress on finding a new junior somm?
SATOSHI
A few applications, but no one with the right skills or experience yet
I’m going to run another ad
In the meantime, I’ve been giving Charlotte extra training
I’d prefer not to have her run the floor before she passes Certified, but in a pinch, she could probably do it
FIONA
R&R, after R&R
Fiona sent a photo.

SATOSHI
You should have woken me up!
FIONA
I did, remember? With breakfast.
SATOSHI
Which I promised to make you!
FIONA
Could you stand to wake this boy?
Besides, you work so hard
