[Jesse looks nervous. He keeps glancing off-screen, like he's looking for permission or approval from someone who's keeping an eye on him. It's the camera he addresses, though:]

H-Hey. So, um...

If you don't know who I am, you can ignore this whole thing, 'cause it ain't really relevant to you.

Ranka? Sorry I disappeared all of a sudden after Christmas. I hope you weren't worrying or anything. I dunno if... I mean, I probably won't be home for a while. So just... don't worry. About that.

Everybody else - I mean, like, anybody who knows me and could do me a favor, like... Could you come and talk to Mia Fey? 'cause I need - what's it? - character witnesses. Like, people who've known me for a while who would maybe...

[The next words are mumbled as he looks down at his hands:]

...come and testify at a trial.

That's all.

[Maya actually catches onto this!]

Of course! As your assistant, we've got to get cracking on this right away!

( She finds herself smiling fondly at Maya, able to appreciate in a different way now that she can now be part of this process. She doesn't need to protect her in the ways she's used to protecting her-- Maya is more than old enough to be actively involved. )

That's right. Be careful coming over here. We'll get started as soon as you join us over at the office.

Should we action or take this elsewhere or handwave?

I'm always careful! [Not] Let's do it!
