"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?

Names have meaning and power. It's something very precious, both to the giver and the receiver.

That's closer to the truth than you might even realize, Yuuko-san.

...or maybe you do already. You've always been kind of mysterious like that.

Mysterious, huh? All I've done was to give you an answer I believe in.
