Saena's arc[]
Whilst Saena was checking Kyoko's page on the LME website, Saena's brows were knitted and she seems unhappy.[1] Todoh notices and comments on the crease in the brow, reflecting her heart being in torment, and that it marks her beauty.[2] They discuss her having to do television appearances to fill in for a superior who is sick.
Todoh meets with Kyoko at Vivian Cafe, and is surprised at how different she looks now compared to when she was a child. They briefly mention how much history they share, which isn't much. Kyoko only knows him from having looked at the law office's website. Todoh mentions the passport consent to Kyoko and tells her that there was a chance Saena would not give her consent at all. When Kyoko confirms that she had already guessed this, Todoh calls her intelligent. He cryptically mentions her father, stating that it is no surprise Kyoko's smart when both her parents were. However, when Kyoko presses him for information about her father, he doesn't answer. Though he continues to be cryptic by stating that he never knew the man's real name.
Todoh drives Kyoko to meet with Saena, and they arrive at the office parking long just as Saena is exiting the building.
