Focusing on the beautiful sales associate Tomomi Shimahara, Rio Yazaki urges her to lend Ito money even after he neglects her and puts her down.

3. B: The Crustacean, Part 1

The Ito described by the second woman Rio consults with is a self-centered, obliviously rude annoyance. Not unlike an up-and-coming writer Rio knows.
