A picture of the president slid into the frame on top of two pictures of Sanae and Risa performing.

"That's right," the mask said. "Our president's daughters were born sixteen years ago and we never knew."

I glanced at Sanae and Risa, whose faces were pale as if they had seen a ghost. Even Butcher seemed shocked, in addition to Aki and Umi. Everyone's jaws dropped. When I called Sanae in the morning, she told me they had already seen the headline, but seeing it like this only made it worse.
