Madame Kogawa's Assignment 2 is bugged

I eventually got past this by doing several challenges after which the letter from Madame Kogawa finally showed up.

These quests actually worked the first time I played it but I wasn't recording then so I didn't save it. Now the thing with her talking like you never finished the first quest seems to be bugged permanently.

At least I was able to complete both assignments though.
