Haha, looks like we're both still going by our normal names! Right, Ishmael-san? [That was how he referred to Sumi-san, the housekeeper, when he was growing up, so he figures he can get away with it now-- no need to make his character such a louche as to be disrespectful to his staff. As if playing along with someone else's illusion isn't also disrespectful, but-- well, he can't break it until he knows what the shape of it is, and insisting that she's wrong won't get them any closer to a solution.

He lets her pull her hand away, then gestures for them to keep walking.]

No, of course not. [It's actually pretty interesting how this... spell, or whatever influence she's under, is maneuvering her around her lack of memories about him. Is it better to try to stress that by not helping it along? Maybe, but not if it means she just storms off and goes to someone else instead.] Well, you remember how I've broken countless hearts on the silver screen, in my role as the Sparkling Detective Akeboshi Koutarou?

[Is it... worse to throw in a plug for his movies? He's doing it anyway.]

I have to admit that I've been cast in several more productions! It's been a busy few days. But I'm sure you didn't doubt me for a minute!
