I've got to be totally naked

Look closely

I just get bigger and bigger

Morphing!

The Suzunari Theater

When I lived back on Earth

I worked back-stage at a small theater

Eventually! ended up marrying

the sister of a cast member

Initially, I dated the lop-billed actress

That was Lei-char:

She was a superb performer

and a lovely person, loo

Bright and smart, she was

the perfect woman for me

Until I discovered

a most disconcerting thing...

She ate hamburgers in

an absolutely repulsive way

Pd adored hamburgers since I was a kid

so that was a nightmare

Ye! here was a girl eating so deliciously

in a way I'd never imagined...

So I left Lei-chan and began dating my wife

I see. Lime things mean a lot.

I gel that...

So?

What's troubling you?

You wouldn't be here otherwise

It's not that I want Lei-chan back.

Far from it...

I just thought...

Thought what?

She doesn't seem very happy

What's with that husband?

I can't believe she fell for that nerdy jerk

Was it out of desperation?

She couldn't forget about you

Of course I never told her I'd left

because of her burger technique...

So she still doesn't know

the reason my feelings cooled

I feel so bad about that

You're in the wrong on this one

I understand, Madam

I'm sorry

It seems we should part

- Like I said...

- Wish you'd told me earlier

I've been telling you all along

I'll step aside

One thing...

as a final memory

just once...

- Please don't

- I don't ask for a kiss

The Angueles way...

of saying farewell

- No

- Don't worry

It'll be fine

Be still

It's done

We'll never meet again

Excuse me

Thanks

Did you just see a mime'?

Holding a red balloon'?

I know it sounds absurd but he was here

Do you mean this'?

Not the Sand-Sand character

A mime like in a circus

I'm sorry but we've no mimes here

But I saw one

That's off-limits to customers

I'll call if I see one

What's up?

Sorry, I had a headache so I took a nap

In that case, relax

I'm okay now

Lei-chan hadn't changed at all

Really? I thought she'd aged

That makes two of you

Listen

Don't worry on my account, okay?

I feel nothing for her any more.

There are no lingering emotions

That claim itself sounds fishy

Are we going back to Earth?

Why do You ask'?

You just mailed

an application to return, right'?

Even if it's accepted it'll be ages yet

Don't concern yourself with it

But if Captain Socks leaves

what will happen to KBC Security?

It'll be fine

Socks was always getting us out of a fix

Next week another superhero will replace me

Are you sure'?

That's the way it works

But Chief...

I need you to know something else

There's more'?
