My suspicions were initially raised during the debate on what to do regarding Manon's interrogation. Set was insistent that Manon was precious to Meridian, even though he was nothing more than a stranger to us all. Upon confronting him, he became rather flustered and defensive when I intimated his close ties to Manon, before fleeing the conversation entirely.

Then, later, when I was explaining why he ranked lower than a borzoi in terms of aesthetics, he declared, apropos of nothing, that Manon was his wife. I assumed he was correcting my earlier assumption that their affair was illicit.

[With his logic (?) neatly (??) laid out (???), Byleth leaned back in his seat and nodded, as if that was that.]
