Yo! So I've been thinking a little bit about the different worlds and stuff and I was kinda wondering.

Do you guys have any particular meanings behind your names?

[ Kirishima holds up what looks to be like a notepad that would be used normally for restaurant order tickets. ]

For example, my name's Kirishima, right? But in my language that can be broken up into kanji - um, symbols?

So this symbol means 'to cut'.

[ A picture of 切 . His writing is not the best, but it's legible. ]

But you pronounce it 'kiri'. Then this symbol means "island".

[ Next page flipped over, a picture of 島 ]

But it's pronounced 'shima'. You put them together and it can be 'Kirishima' but they also have that extra meaning? Because there are other symbols that can make those same sounds but they don't have the same meaning.

Anyway, what meanings are behind your names?

So, I was given this little slip of paper by Delibird, and I have a question. I'm only marginally familiar with a human tradition called Christmas, and I did not get much exposure to it back home. But, what is a "secret santa"?
