[Normally Kira would think Makima could stand to be less aware of him, and perhaps take his own book to a more private location. But his highfaluting theories about fate aside, the truth is he can think of at least three or four entities here he'd sincerely believe would spring for that cheap bait in a heartbeat. So it wouldn't kill him to be seen... once in a while. He considers it similar to going to the office.]

Ah, you must be wondering about the uncertainty of my marriage status... I admit was a bit flustered, since it is such basic information which belongs in a formal introduction. But the period when I met that woman and her child is a large gap in my memories. I only remember the last few weeks of us living together, and even that is a bit fuzzy. It seems as though something is meant to be hidden from me, about the nature of our companionship - the existence of the marriage seems the likeliest. I would have assumed we were engaged at the least, and I also can't recall her family name.
