No, Kenji-san asked me to meet him later. I think he wants to break up." "My grandmother said you should poison your man every morning before he leaves. Tell him he can have the antidote when he comes home." "What poison should I use?" "I'm sure my grandmother can give you something. She doesn't need it anymore."

"Yeah, she went kind of crazy. She came flying across the room and started slashing at me. Finally I fought her off, but I was worried I was going to accidentally stab her.
