The next morning, Mina tries to convince herself that things are going well with the manuscript, but she can't bring herself to admit that things aren't going well. She's worried that she's not doing the right thing by her friend, and she wants to make sure that she doesn't do the same thing to someone else. She tells herself that it's her fault that things have gotten this far, and that she should just leave her alone and not worry about her friend's feelings for Mina. Mina tells her friend that she can have a beer at the company retreat that's coming up this weekend, but that she needs to finish the manuscript.
