When Isamu expresses his own hope at reconciliation, she smiles at him encouragingly. "You know, you already have a lot of insight into how you handled things. That's the hardest part, in my experience. I wouldn't be surprised if your brother's girlfriend is doing the same thing. And if not, some time to cool off may be enough to put him into a more receptive mood."

Realizing that she knows his brother's name, but not the name of the man she's talking to, she offers her hand for a shake, if he's amenable. "My name's Adia, by the way. Adia Costas."
