How cryptic. [Mikumo seems somewhat amused by it, because she does this sort of thing to people from time to time as well. She's more used to being on the knowing end of it, though, so she's fairly quick to make the straightforward observation.] Are you setting up a riddle for me or building up to a dramatic reveal of some kind? I need to know where to set my expectations, after all.

[It's not impolitely said, but it could charitably be described as direct.]
