I was reviewing my [question](https://anime.stackexchange.com/q/29942/17758)
about how the killer got on the roof and it suddenly struck me how weird the
scene I posted in that question was.

Here it is again for reference:

[![ Picture from Episode 3: Magata returning from the
roof](https://i.stack.imgur.com/jUHvp.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/jUHvp.jpg)

In this scene, we see Yamane introducing Miki to her own aunt. We later find
out that Miki was actually Dr. Magata. Did Dr. Magata really have a sister, or
not? I ask because I find that it's weird that the Aunt would not know her
niece, or at least know if her brother/sister had children. It also seems
weird that they would not have met. I remember that while Dr. Magata was
acting as Miki she told Professor Saikawa that she was raised in America, away
from Dr. Magata. However, even that sounds strange as Dr. Magata's parents
were not separated.

On the other hand, it seems ever more odd if she _didn't_ have a sister,
because that would mean the aunt should have known right away that Miki was an
imposter.
