会社の同僚ジョナスとヤヨイ。オフィスの移転が完了しましたが・・・。

Hi, Yayoi. How are you settling in?
Fine, but the water pressure in the restroom is too low. Can we increase the pressure?
As far as I am aware, the water pressure can’t be changed. It’s meant to save water.
I see. Do you like this new office?
Well, I can’t speak for everyone, but I like it better than the old one.
I have to say it has its good and bad points.

プレゼンを控えたタクマとミランダ。タクマは見当外れのことを考えているようです。

OK, I’ve completed my sections for the presentation. How is your writing coming along, Takuma?
Um, I haven’t started writing yet.
What? We only have two days until our presentation.
I have been thinking about the graphics. We need to use brighter colors this time.
Right, but there are more important things to consider.
I also wanted to include a section on Roman gladiators.
That’s interesting, but it’s not exactly connected to our present topic.

We need more bicycle lanes.
You’re right up to a point, but there’s another issue.
What’s that?
Many roads are already too narrow.

Ryker, did you hear that Mr. Campbell is leaving?
I can’t believe it. He’s a strict teacher, but I like him.
He’s very popular. Let’s organize a farewell party for him.
Good idea. We can surprise him by throwing a cake in his face.
What?
We need to do something he’ll never forget.
You have a point, but don’t you think we should do something less drastic?
I guess so.
