• She stood with Lizzie in front of the bustling mug. It was early in the morning, and they had stolen their way across the slumbering, gloomy village to the bar to listen to the rest of the tale from the androgynous man who had given his name as Chitra Uraiphon. A Thai name that served to boast of the inhumane scientists' success, with the 'Chitra' meaning 'graceful and beautiful' and the 'Uraiphon' meaning'success'. It was clear that the purpose of the name was to show the success of the work created by the scientist, and when she asked why he refused to change it, his words were: "A name is just a word tag, and it will remain that if you don't let it define who you are."
