You are preparing notes for your presentation.

┌────────────────────────────────────┐
|              [Maki's Kitchen]              |
|                                    |
| "Irasshai-mase," said Maki as two customers entered her restaurant,  |
|Maki's Kitchen. Maki had joined her family business at the age of 19  |
|when her father became ill. After he recovered, Maki decided to     |
|continue. Eventually, Maki's parents retired and she became the owner. |
|Maki had many regular customers who came not only for the delicious   |
|food, but also to sit at the counter and talk to her. Although her   |
|business was doing very well, Maki occasionally daydreamed about    |
|something different.                          |
| "Can we sit at the counter?" she heard. It was her old friends, Takuya|
|and Kasumi. A phone call a few weeks earlier from Kasumi to Takuya had |
|given them the idea to visit Maki and surprise her.           |
|                                    |
|               ◆◆◆◆◆                |
|                                    |
| Takuya's phone vibrated, and he saw a familiar name, Kasumi.     |
| "Kasumi!"                               |
| "Hi, Takuya, I saw you in the newspaper. Congratulations!"      |
| "Thanks. Hey, you weren't at our 20th high school reunion last month."|
| "No, I couldn't make it. I can't believe it's been 20 years since we |
|graduated. Actually, I was calling to ask if you've seen Maki recently."|
|                                    |
|               ◆◆◆◆◆                |
|                                    |
| Takuya's family had moved to Kawanaka Town shortly before he started |
|high school. He joined the drama club, where he met Maki and Kasumi. The|
|three became inseparable. After graduation, Takuya left Kawanaka to   |
|become an actor, while Maki and Kasumi remained. Maki had decided she  |
|wanted to study at university and enrolled in a preparatory school.   |
|Kasumi, on the other hand, started her career. Takuya tried out for   |
|various acting roles but was constantly rejected; eventually, he quit. |
|                                    |
| Exactly one year after graduation, Takuya returned to Kawanaka with  |
|his dreams destroyed. He called Maki, who offered her sympathy. He was |
|surprised to learn that Maki had abandoned her plan to attend university|
|because she had to manage her family's restaurant. Her first day of work|
|had been the day he called. For some reason, Takuya could not resist  |
|giving Maki some advice.                        |
|                                    |
| "Maki, I've always thought your family's restaurant should change the |
|coffee it serves. I think people in Kawanaka want a bolder flavor. I'd |
|be happy to recommend a different brand," he said.           |
|                                    |
| "Takuya, you really know your coffee. Hey, I was walking by Cafe   |
|Kawanaka nad saw a help-wanted sign. You should apply!" Maki replied.  |
|                                    |
| Takuya was hired by Cafe Kawanaka and became fascinated by the science|
|of coffee making. On the one-year anniversary of his employment, Takuya |
|was talking to Maki at her restaurant.                 |
| "Maki," he said, "do you know what my dream is?"           |
| "It must have something to do with coffee."              |
| "That's right! It's to have my own coffee business."         |
| "I can't imagine a better person for it. What are you waiting for?"  |
| Maki's encouragement inspired Takuya. He quit his job, purchased a  |
|coffee bean roaster, and began roasting beans. Maki had a sign in her  |
|restaurant saying, "We proudly serve Takuya's Coffee," and this     |
|publicity helped the coffee gain popularity in Kawanaka. Takuya started |
|making good money selling his beans. Eventually, he opened his own cafe |
|and became a successful business owner.                 |
|                                    |
|               ◆◆◆◆◆                |
|                                    |
| Kasumi was reading the newspaper when she saw the headline: TAKUYA'S |
|CAFE ATTRACTING TOURISTS TO KAWANAKA TOWN. "Who would have thought that |
|Takuya would be so successful?" Kasumi thought to herself as she    |
|reflected on her past.                         |
|                                    |
| In the high school drama club, Kasumi's duty was to put make-up on the|
|actors. No one could do it better than her. Maki noticed this and saw  |
|that a cosmetics company called Beautella was advertising for      |
|salespeople. She encouraged Kasumi to apply, and after graduation, she |
|became an employee of Beautella.                    |
|                                    |
| The work was tough; Kasumi went door to door selling cosmetics. On bad|
|days, she would call Maki, who would lift her spirits. One day, Maki had|
|an idea, "Doesn't Beautella do make-up workshops? I think you are more |
|suited for that. You can show people how to use the make-up. They'll  |
|love the way they look and buy lot of cosmetics!"            |
|                                    |
| Kasumi's company agreed to let her do workshops, and they were a hit! |
|Kasumi's sales were so good that eight months out of high school, she  |
|had been promoted, moving to the big city of Ishijima. Since then, she |
|had steadily climbed her way up the company ladder until she had been  |
|named vice-president of Beautella this year.              |
|                                    |
| "I wouldn't be vice-president now without Maki," she thought, "she  |
|helped me when I was struggling, but I was too absorbed with my work in |
|Ishijima to give her support when she had to quit her preparatory    |
|school." Glancing back to the article, she decided to call Takuya.   |
|                                    |
|               ◆◆◆◆◆                |
|                                    |
| "Maki wasn't at the reunion. I haven't seen her in ages," said Takuya.|
| "Same here. It's a pity. Where would we be without her?" asked Kasumi.|
| The conversation became silent, as they wordlessly communicated their |
|guilt. Then, Kasumi had an idea.                    |
|                                    |
|               ◆◆◆◆◆                |
|                                    |
| The three friends were talking and laughing when Maki asked, "By the |
|way, I'm really happy to see you two, but what brings you here?"    |
| "Payback," said Takuya.                        |
| "Have I done something wrong?" asked Maki.              |
| "No. The opposite. You understand people incredibly well. You can   |
|identify others' strengths and show them how to make use of them. We're |
|proof of this. You made us aware of our gifts," said Takuya.      |
| "The irony is that you couldn't do the same for yourself," added   |
|Kasumi.                                 |
| "I think Ishijima University would be ideal for you. It offers a   |
|degree program in counseling that's designed for people with jobs," said|
|Takuya.                                 |
| "You'd have to go there a few times a month, but you could stay with |
|me. Also, Takuya can help you find staff for your restaurant," said   |
|Kasumi.                                 |
| Maki closed her eyes and imagined Kawanaka having both "Maki's    |
|Kitchen" and "Maki's Counseling." She liked that idea.         |
