[The way the woman looks is her first hint; Nami had some pictures of herself and Nojiko as children with Bellemere. Still, Vivi doesn't think too much of it until the woman mentions Cocoyashi. Then she gives her name, and there's absolutely no doubt. Nami's just gone home, and Luceti has seen fit to bring her sister here instead. Which brings us to the laughter.]
[It's not long-lived, at least. After the initial burst, Vivi has no trouble composing herself, and then she answers:]
Nojiko-san? Hello. This may be a little hard to believe, but I know your sister. Nami-san. She...she's not here any longer.
