Nobuo did intend to stall him, since as the two said that getting caught crying was not allowed for them. At least the time spent answering the questions would have helped the two look normal by the time they would arrive at the temple, "So long as you don't tell anyone that these two have cried. You have my word, I will not tell my father of any knowledge you give me in this place."

Anyone would have come out acting differently, he assumed. Nobuo watched Ken'ichi's face, changing in expression towards the two children, "It is strange...Fumiko became your daughter in this lifetime. But it must be hard for you to know that Fumiko will never acknowledge you as her father unless someone tells her that you are the one who raised her." He looked to the ground, and then back up, "Is it that important to avoid telling her how you feel? That she's your child?"
