Where am I...?

It's called Sabra La Tau. Did you wake up in the dorm?

No. Over there.

[Pointing at Pyxis.]

Ah... th-that's the dorm. Pyxis' dorm. It's our home here.

Oh.

I-it's okay. I'm Miranda. It's really nice to meet you.

[Pauses.]

I don't have a name. Unless it's Sis.

I-I don't think that's really a name. I... think he means you're his sister. Um... I'm really not very good with names. He might know it. People from home knew my name when I first came here, too. I-if you want someone to give you a name though, I could try though.

... You may.

Um... O-okay then... A name for you...

[Well, there's always something that could describe her, but.... not really knowing her, it's kind of difficult to describe.]

[I could always go with something about her physically, but... well, I don't really know enough words for that, and Brownie just doesn't have the right sound.]

[M-maybe if I said something that's similar to the others' names... but... they have really different names don't they? Blood and Dove and Justice...]

[What about Ikki though? Did he ever have a name here? Did someone know him when he first arrived? Why don't I know this? Wouldn't that be something a teammate should know?!]

[What if I pick a name and she doesn't like it or someone else already has it? I don't know everyone here! What if no one would want to use it?! What if she hates it? It could be horrible if I picked a name and she thought it was stupid! Maybe it would be better if someone else gave her one! I can't even think of anything, and I don't really know anything that would be good to call her. I mean, what if she's nothing like the name I pick. She'd be horrified to find out and then it'd be even worse and she'd hate me forever for giving her such a horrible suggestion and --]

[It she going to melt? Or combust?

...

That probably wouldn't be good.]

[Reaches out to pet Miranda's hair.]

Don't worry about it.

It's not worth suddenly dying over.

I-I'm really sorry! I-I'm really not... I mean... m-maybe you should stick with Sis. I-it's not a bad name, really... I think.

[Seems to consider that a moment.]

...

I like it.

... R-really?

[Nods.]

I-I'm glad then. E-even if I didn't really pick it. I'm really glad you like it.

Thank you.

U-um... H-have people told you about this place yet? Are you hungry? I think there's some dinner left over still. I could warm it up for you.

You can tell me more.
