"Kiwa is my cousin, and Edmond's mum. Like I was meant to be for Basil.
I am... different from the other mums. You are born into the position, it is a familial obligation. Kiwa was born into it from her father, her mother was my mother's sister. My obāsan.... Aunt.
When Basil was enrolled at the University, they needed someone to go undercover to watch him. Howard and Harold, his unusual mums, had no reason to be on the premises. Kiwa is Institute Alumni so she seemed like the obvious choice, but she could not be assigned to two different people and they do not want Edmond to return.
So Kiwa offered me as an alternate solution. She thought it would be good for me. I thought it would be as well. I... do not think I realized how intensive it would be."
