An honest answer to an honest question. She had always been able to read Nanashii ("No Name") better than anyone else. Yet the one time he blatantly displayed his emotions, and she could no longer figure him out. Why he let her live. Why he then turned and walked away. She might never know.
"I think...to deny somebody a birth name is to deny their very existence. Names mean something. They're more than just something other people call you. They're your memories. Your heart. Your mind. What you mean to other people, and what they mean to you. You can know everything there is to know about a person, but if you don't know their name, then it means very little in the end."
That was what he was denying her when he refused to call her Midii. Whether he realized it or not.
