Summary
Alexis despises Yoichi.
(He has been very clear about this, repeatedly, while inside him.)
“Good morning,” Michael says, in the tone of someone who’s been awake for hours and finds this personally virtuous. “We’re going out tonight. Tell Yoichi.”
Alexis goes very still.
“Tell him yourself.”
“I’m telling you.”
“Why,” Alexis says, with the careful enunciation of someone choosing each word precisely, “would Yoichi be reachable through me?”
A pause. The particular kind Michael deploys when he’s letting someone else’s sentence hang in the air long enough to hear how it sounds. “I don’t know, Alexis. Why would he be?”
“He wouldn’t. That’s my point. I don’t know where Yoichi is.”
“Mm.”
“I don’t keep track of Yoichi.”
“Of course not.”
