So we had a bit of a talk about what was written next to Himawari on, i guess it was a wooden desk, in hexdec some while ago, the Infant Joy poem.
That event was for me the time that i decided that Himawari was the most likely name for her.
This is pretty much me repeating myself, because i posted this some months ago, but since we have "new" people here, why not.
The pretty much 100% for me was already -- q "Your little sunflower." -- Where q is a ren'py "sayer" shown as "???", which is most of the time the entity we/i name Himawari.
(Just did a quick and dirty search with np++ and this seems to be in the "Flowerchild" Event, while i don't know what kind of event that is (Main/Character/Happy)).
But "q" is also used for entities we dont know yet, so little chance i might be off.
Still..., we have HimawariCo. There to help or whatever, which seems to describe her character.
Back to the poem.
The poem is called Infant Joy by William Blake.
It has a second part that i think is not in the game.
Further, the poem is a contra to another poem by William Blake called "Infant Sadness".
So two things come to mind.
The poem is supposed to be interpreted together with its missing part and it's contra.
And i don't know what to make of that.
Or, the part "Joy is my name" is to be taken literally.
For that we would have to dive a bit into "Hanakotoba", which is the japanese flower language.
Sunflower/Himawari "CAN" be interpreted as Joy, while... that counts for a lot of flowers in western and japanese flower language. It's kind of what can be associated with flowers in general.
Normally Sunflowers in japanese are more linked to loyalty, longevity and respect.
But flowers seem to play at least some role in LIL.
We have Sekai (Cherry Blossom), Ayane (Daisy/Sunflower) and "Himawari" (Sunflower?).
The thing with Ayane is that i can't tell if her flower pattern dress is daisy or sunflower, because they can be hard to tell apart given that they can look alike, more so if it's orange Daisies.
I forgot what Daisies mean in "Hanakotaba", but i found it very interesting that sakura tree's/cherry blossom, can mean "Hope" in Hanakotaba.
Which, if flower language has some meaning in LiL, would relate Sekai to the entity we know as Hope.
