"I'm not protecting the country; I'm protecting my wife."

"You called for me, sir?"
"...Higa, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Good. I'm assigning you a new mission. You remember PROJECT Guest, right?"
"Yes. The frozen project. If I recall, it was a humanoid weapon..."
"Indeed. You will become Guest's husband and monitor them. You are to watch Guest 24/7, 365 days a year, and report any abnormalities immediately."

Half-closed eyes, a double chin, and a mysterious shadow.
He was so bad at taking photos that I sometimes wondered if he was doing it on purpose.
