What's the point of establishing that they have a child together when the baby is completely irrelevant in what happens? The story doesn't even demonstrate that they have any emotional attachment to their unnamed offspring. Hell, Makoto even left it unattended back in their apartment. The degree to which their kid is an afterthought in the plot makes it pretty clear that the author doesn't have children.
This series and specially this chapter seems like inspired in The Eye in the Sky by Alan Parsons....

I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
