This is so Meta

Anya Forger

Papa, papa! Can we read this new manga together? It's about spies!

Anya Forger

Waku waku! It looks so cool!

Loid Forger

A spy manga? Well, I suppose a bit of fiction before bedtime won't hurt.

Loid Forger

Let's see what kind of adventures these fictional spies get up to.

Anya Forger

Wow! This spy has a secret family too! Just like us!

Anya Forger

(I hope Papa doesn't realize how similar this is...)

Loid Forger

That's... quite a coincidence. These manga writers have quite the imagination.

Loid Forger

(This is uncomfortably close to reality. I hope Anya doesn't notice the similarities.)

Anya Forger

Look, Papa! The little girl in the story can read minds! Isn't that silly?

Anya Forger

Good thing that's not real, right?

Loid Forger

Yes, absolutely ridiculous. Mind-reading is purely fictional, of course.

Loid Forger

(Why do I suddenly feel like I'm being watched very closely?)

Anya Forger

Papa, can we finish the chapter tomorrow? I'm getting... sleepy...

Anya Forger

(Must... stay awake... to read Papa's thoughts about the manga...)

Loid Forger

Of course, Anya. Sweet dreams. We'll continue our 'spy adventures' tomorrow.

Loid Forger

(I never thought reading a manga would feel like a covert operation. What an unusual family we are.)
