The name of Guriko's first companion, Kudan, is one of rarest mythological creatures in Japanese myth, a calf born with a human head and made prophesies about the end of the world, and dies three days after these prophesies are made. The name of the second companion, Kirigirisu, means cricket (the insect, not the sport) in Japanese.

Written as "Song of Tears". Except, the voice actually says "Melodia Noise", so Guriko wouldn't have any clue what it's talking about. On a side note, Melodia Noise uses archaic language, but I decided not to use archaic English.

-"Kara" - Tossing the Chinese character (丽) into http://www.kawa.net/works/ajax/romanize/japanese-e.html didn't work, so I had Google translate it into Japanese and used that. Highly suspect method, and I'm not sure that’s even a name. Also not sure about something else in the conversation, except I just realized that my poor choice of a word processor cut off everything after this point (back to MS Word for me), and I don’t feel like digging it up again from the text.
