"Why don't you call me 'Bright Clarity'?" he asked with a mocking tone and a sidelong glance.

She had gotten used to calling him that in her past life, and it just slipped out.
"Am I the one who's gotten into something? Have you forgotten how he used to treat you? From now on, don't get too close to him - no, better yet, don't see him at all!"
Mario Yuno seized the opportunity of his jealousy to make a request, worried that the Marbled Cat Clan might tell Kiara something he shouldn't.
He didn't want her to know the secret of her birth.
Keeping things the way they were was just fine. If she found out that Yuzo Joel swapped a child from his mother-in-law's family to save his own daughter, wouldn't Kiara go crazy?
Considering the many years of affection she and her mother shared, she would be in a tough spot. It was better for things to remain as they were.
