"Oni yori haruka ni tsuyoi"...

"Stronger than any demon."

[BZZZZAP!] ...again? Isn't it enough that I'm thinking out loud so that others can hear me like this?

[He takes a deep breath, and then slowly lets it out in a sigh.] Fine. I don't normally ask questions like this, but I'll try it this time. As long as it will appease your little spies, or this stupid machine.

I have been thinking about names, and how the nations here have human names. It was something that the one called China told me about some time ago.

Why must humans name everything? Nothing is real to you until you've named it, given it limits.

Why does something need to be named, and what does the name you've been given mean to you?

My human name represents who I am. Ah.. it is for ease and convenience in certain situations. On the other hand, some of us countries use them to accent more personal points as opposed to country-wide values.

Why do you have a human name at all? Isn't having just one name good enough?

I guess it's just hard for me to wrap my head around it.
