Why is Kiyoko called your "wife"?

[Vicson_Steele]

While having sex with Kiyoko in the astral realm the game calls Kiyoko "your wife" or "your slutty fox-wife" despite you not being married. You don't even get that option for marriage until you free her from the realm. I don't recall any other sex scene calling someone your wife or husband while having sex with them so why is Kiyoko given different treatment?

If Memory serves me correctly, I believe once you agree to have sex with Kiyoko and to give her some of your Life Force/Energy/Whatever-you-want-to-call-it then she will automatically consider you as her Consort since she's a High-Ranking Noble close to Royalty and would not be able to justify a sexual relationship with someone below her status otherwise. Keep in mind: A Consort is the title often given to the spouse of a Noble/Royalty. I think it might also have something to do with how Kitsune Rules/Traditions in this game's universe works, though I'm not entirely sure on that since I'm not an expert on the Lore.
