Shizuka watched as Jake tossed the cigarette butt.  She was glad to see he wasn't offended; some people could get angry at the smallest criticisms, especially if it was in front of other people.  But then Jake again offered her the $300, threatening to shove it down her shirt if she didn't accept.  "V-very well, i-if you put it that way," Shizuka stuttered, blushing, feeling embarrassed and maybe even a little violated.  Maybe it was sexual harassment, but more than likely it was just a sort of crude humor to accompany the show, so Shizuka decided to let it slide.  She tenderly reached for the money, seeing it as the quickest, and possibly only way out of this escalating mess.

When he apologized and put the camera away, Shizuka relaxed a bit, and smiled slightly at his joke about his mind living in the gutter, though realized the somewhat inappropriate nature of the joke given the fact Jake was (to her knowledge) pretending to be homeless.  When he took off his sunglasses, she looked into his eyes momentarily, then averted her gaze to not seem rude; also, she had seen something unsettling.  She did wonder for a moment why he put the camera away, since she thought these sorts of shows usually kept filming; they could always cut away to something else, or edit it in post-processing, but she didn't question it.  "I-I hope my reluctance to accept your prize didn't diminish the entertainment value of your program," Shizuka apologized, feeling that this level of awkwardness did not make for good television.
