Yeah, pretty old. But the writing system it used is still used a lot. Adjusted here and there. It's a lot different from ours, almost entirely based on how words sound instead of meaning. So the Hua for my name and your friend's name would be written out the same way. Someone actually wrote a full poem that used the same three characters repeated again and again when written out with the Latin alphabet!

[Is he stalling? Maybe he's stalling. Come on Qinghua, out with it.]

I didn't think you would. So, ah, you know how I said I used to be a writer? Least, I think I did. I've got so many things to remember that some things get mixed up. But anyway!

Before I... I died, I was writing a book. A very, very long book. Was still working on it when I stupidly got myself electrocuted, actually. Died because I ate at my desk, can you believe it?
