She felt a bit weak at the knees, cheeks colouring pink.
Ah! But wait, just why was he accompanying a small child, unless...?!
Pinoko ran out to meet him, silently squeezing her cheeks in. She was rendered effectively mute for a good long while, before finally finding her voice:]

Alright then...but anyway, I'm beyond wondering the mechanics of how the Author thinks-

Splitting image of me? I think he's missing something...[As he says this, he reaches out and lightly draws a line down the toddlers face, where his facial scar is. Thekid just giggles and grabs what it can of his hand]
