Everyone's got a name or at least something close to it. But do you guys know what your names actually mean, or the reason you were given that name? We give pokémon names to set them apart, but does the way you name yours mean anything special? I just named this guy Lemon Twist since he reminds me of striped lemon candy.

[It’s been a boring day, for once Killua didn’t feel like doing something insane. Instead he’s just laying on his Dunesparce.]

It's interesting when you think about it: someone or you yourself has been given this word to identify by and it could have some really deep mean behind it. It could be something that a person thought sounded cute but in the end it's pretty sucky for you. For example, someone could have named their kid after a word that sounds cool yet it could mean horse-shit in the language its from.

I sort of lucked out with the way my parents named me and my siblings, but it has me wondering about everyone else. So tell me what your names mean.

Infinite? Wow! [ Mimi's eyes go wide as she pictures an infinite line of Earths stretching into the distance. ]

Asking who?

I guess you haven't been here all that long. But there are loads of people from different worlds. There is no telling where they came from without asking.

I kind of just assumed that most people were from the real world! My real world, I mean. [ Though as Mimi thinks over the list of people she's met, she has to admit that a fair few of them did seem to be from different worlds than her own... ]

So does that mean that even the ones who said they were from Japan - they might be from a different Japan than mine?

Exactly, the history could be similar be certain events could be completely different. This doesn't even take into account that the times people come in at will be different too.

For example, someone can come from the same place as you but be from several years in the future or hundreds of years in the past.

That's amazing! I don't know how this place does it, but it can really bring people together from all over, huh! Do you think there's any kind of pattern to who shows up here, and where and when they're from?

There isn't any real pattern, but if you show up here there is a chance someone from your world might. Sometimes a whole bunch of people come from the same place over time.

Oh, I hope you're right in my case! I really want to see my friends again... They're sure taking their time, though! [ That was supposed to be lighthearted, but it comes across as kind of sad. Mimi hastily tries to move the conversation forward. ]

Has anyone that you know shown up here, Killua-san?

Really? Oh, that's great, Killua-san! I hope you two are having a good time together!

[ Mimi means it, too. She may still miss her friends from home, but she's glad someone else has found one of theirs. ]

You're dating! Oh, Killua-san, that's wonderful! Sharing your journey with the one you love... could there be anything more romantic? [ Mimi's gone into sparkle mode again. GOD I LOVE LOVE ]

[ ... ...Wait. ]

This person you're dating... He's a boy?

[ A whole new world has opened up for Mimi. ]

Thank you, Killua-san! [ Possible fantasy dating scenarios: increased by 100%. ] Maybe I will date a girl someday!

[ Let's recap: this conversation has gone from name meanings, to assassination, to career choices, to the existence of multiple worlds, to discovering bisexuality. This sure has been a day. ]
