The Lotus Theatre
“Names hold power, they are dangerous. To know my name is to say that you know me, which you most certainly do not.”
Kind and caring.
Two words that was never associated with Lotus. Ever. Just like the word family was never associated with her. The word was never spoken around her, for she had lost hers at a young age, barely that of four revolutions. Young enough to remember the carnage that stole them, but not old enough to remember the smiling faces - or at least she liked to assume that they smiled.
Lotus liked to assume many things, that she had the capability to be nice, that her parents had been happy. She also knew many things, like the fact that no one knew her true name. To name someone was to mean that you could find them, and names had power.
When someone calls your name, you knew that it was you that were called, and not the person standing next to you. Names were the things that defined you. If someone knew your name, by default it meant that someone knew how to control you.
