   "He lifted his shades, looking serious.  'Getting
you in trouble--it was never in my plans, DL-san. 
Maybe you should start to think--about beaming out of
this, ne?'
   "She ran a hand through her hair, gave him a look. 
'Can't.'
   "'It's a black hole!  It's taken away thirty years
of my life!  I don't want it--to drag you in!'
   "'It's my job--I can't back out.'
   "'Sounds like my--ex-wife!'  He looked around,
pretending to be crazy.  'Domo komarimashita!  What
did I do, get married again and forget it already?'"
(VL, Ch. 9, p. 176)
