Mario's romantic experience with Millicent Kent — "It had been six years since…"
It had been six years since she’d laid an eyeball on her Old Man, but to the best of her recall he was almost three meters tall and morbidly obese, which had been why every mirror and bathtub in the house had been double-width.
Context
Kent's grotesque-comic family history, confided at the uncomprehending Mario: body-grotesque at the theme's edge rather than disability proper — filed because the archive's motif catalog files it under Deformity/the grotesque; the scene's real theme work is Mario's.
