[There is a very cheerful- and, now, very sparkly- Vitalia by the lake, humming to herself as she puts some finishing touches on a new greenhouse and attached lakeside cottage. There are no horrific monstrosities present yet.]

It can be tough for the children, yes. I knew a little girl who ran away from home because of it. But I don't think it would be very nice to live with parents who are always fighting, either.

Fighting? Why would you marry someone who you don't get along with?

[manymasked]

I don't know... people make mistakes, I guess.

It seems a strange mistake to make... Surely such a thing would have come up before the contract was made.

Sometimes you don't know people as well as you thought you did.

I see... no wonder Papi had so much trouble before- [oops, she's not supposed to mention that around people!]

[manymasked]

[Alas, Minako cannot help being curious.]

Before what?

[made-of-science.livejournal.com]

Er... before... before he, ah, met Mami.

[Yesss, perfectly handled! NOBODY WILL SUSPECT A THING.]

[manymasked]

[Okay, that raised more questions than it answered, but Minako isn't going to push it. For now.]

I see. Well, it's good that he was able to find someone that he got along well with in the end!

[made-of-science.livejournal.com]

Yes. He found her! [THE PERFECT LIE!]
