Hamilton's office.

Hamilton looks up at his paper as Masako sits down at his desk. he seems to be writing a letter to James Reynolds. Masako was told to come to his office in the early morning, so here they are.

Hamilton: "a-ah, hello Masako. i was wondering..and this may be a little strange..but, could you give me some advice?" he asks, slightly stressed. he puts down his paper that he was writing to James Reynolds. his hands are shaking a bit as he stares at Masako.
