"I know..believe me, I've read the stories. The father you had was a much better person than the one you could have had." And..that was pretty much all Tohko had to say to that. She knew, due to her reading, that Diarmuid's father was a good one, and the subject was probably a painful one to Diarmuid anyway, so she just quickly moved on to talking about her own family.

"So am I. There's nothing wrong with being an orphan, but it's really tough sometimes, especially if there's nowhere for you to go. However, Ryuto knows about my taste buds! He doesn't always cook for me, but he sometimes tries when he has the time and wants to. He's out late at night a lot sometimes, due to his skirt-chasing, but he's never called me a goblin or anything. My aunt doesn't know though. She's always out at work a lot, so we sometimes don't have a meal together, but, when we do, I can just picture a really tasty book when I eat with her and then actually eat some words in my room later."
