[Ken's expression darkens.] It was the mafia. They experimented on us, and they were always coming after us...and they killed Kakipi.
[He doesn't remember much about the mafia that affected their lives so deeply; their connection to Chikusa was indirect, and all his memories are Chikusa-centric. But their hatred of, and activities against, the mafia were the binding force between him and Chikusa, so he at least remembers the basics of who they hated and why. Without those things, he and Chikusa would never have ended up together, or stayed together.]
[Ken looks over at the door, shifting his weight uneasily; remembering Chikusa's death has renewed his anxious need to see the other boy, to make sure he's still there, and as a result his nerves are visibly apparent. Still, he looks back at Marinette when she mentions her temple.] Is Fortuna your god? [If Marinette ever mentioned her god name - or if she even mentioned she was a god at all - Ken's blanked on it. Of course, Ken's been fairly preoccupied for various reasons during all their encounters so far.]
