Chiyo yells something that Kanon can't understand. She knows it's not because Chiyo needs speech therapy, but because Chiyo and her siblings are growing up speaking a variant of lower Ganma language. Alain can sometimes understand it if Chiyo or her siblings slow down.
Kanon isn't sure how much Ganma she wants her children to be. It's why Candide and Alexis go to kindergarten with Chiyo, so that they can learn human ways of interacting. No matter how much she loves Alain, she doesn't want her kids picking up Ganma attitudes.
Chiyo is at least careful about where she talks in the strange little tongue. Her teachers haven't asked Kanon or Alain about any strange language use. Kanon knows that the language helps tie Candide and Alexis to the human world.
Someday, Alain thinks, Candide and Alexis might be able to assume human form, probably by imitating Chiyo's. But they're not there yet, no matter how much she wants them to be. She loves them as much as she would if she had birthed them herself, and she wants the best for them.
Just like any mother would, even if the circumstances were a bit odd. Even if they're more Alain's children than hers.
So Kanon does her best to be a human mother to three kids, even if the rest of the world sees only one, because she loves them.
