[ He's being vague, he realizes - no "we split up after a nasty marriage" or "she never wants anything to do with me or Kaori again", but his tongue feels like lead in his mouth, heavy and poisonous, and he doesn't have it in him to elaborate. Not yet. ] Sorry, that's probably sudden for me to say.
