[ A rather tidy scrawl appears. But it's unsteady at the same time, unsure. ]

What's so important about a name? People seem to get upset if you don't have one. I do not, but I have no need for one. My purpose has been served, and I am a mere doll. A doll doesn't get a real name, just a role.

Why are names so important? Why? Why is it not okay that I don't have one? I'm a doll. I don't need one. I don' even exist.

I'm not important.

Am I?

If you're capable of speaking and considering your own existence to have this crisis, then you are a person, you obviously exist or you wouldn't be writing right now, and a name is a perfectly reasonable thing to have.

[projectnamed]

I don't know.

I only have a name because the project that created me had a name.

Of course you're important. You're alive. Doesn't matter if you were born to a role, or if you've completed that purpose. You're still here. That's all that matters. And since you're here, a name is something you should have. It's a special thing that's yours. Because even if you can't own anything else in a world, you should be able to have your own name.

[His hand-writing is still pretty readable and almost neat, but it comes through in a rush, because hi he feels rather strongly about this]

["Tonight" is a mess. First running headlong into his feelings about Van, now this?

Asch doesn't like replicas, or anything like them. And there seem to be a number of them here, which sets his hackles up, and he doesn't know who any of them are because the handwriting is anonymous.]

A name distinguishes you from others. If there was someone born in the same way as you, people would want a way to tell you apart.

You do not need a name to exist but it looks like people are going to give you one anyway. Don't worry about it. It's convenient for them.

[Sam hasn't really gotten much of a chance to talk to this particular member of his room. --He seems to be surrounded by kids this time around.-- But he still has an answer for her.]

Well, even if you don't think that you need one, it's something that people are used to. And we tend to consider it rude to just shout 'Hey, you!' at others around us.

I've been in this place before and...I don't think it pulls people here that aren't important. To somebody, at least.

[Another distinct writing form appears a while later, cursive lettering spreading neatly and slowly across the page.]

Names are a way of showing that thought was put into your existence. That is why they are important, and I'm fairly sure that's why other people are upset when they find out you were never given one.

[ Finally, after some time has passed, she'll return. ]

I don't understand. I don't understand. Why does anyone care? I'm just a doll. I'm made to be tossed aside. I should't be cared about to this degree. I don't understand.

I can't understand.
