Can play out near-identically to [[Right Behind Me]], with the key difference being that Alice and Bob are fully aware of Carol's presence the entire time (or, if they're not, then [[Failed a Spot Check|they really should be]]). They're merely speaking of her as if she wasn't present. Might also result in a [[Right in Front of Me]] moment, depending on the status of the person being ignored.

** Unlike most examples, Matsuda is actually in another room, watching via surveillance (but he had contacted them moments ago), so it's somewhat natural that they'd forget about him for a moment. Also, this is arguably the kind of thing L would do deliberately. |
