    Summary

    “What am I going to do with your name?” Max asks, a little incredulous.

    “Whatever you want,” the salesman says. “Didn’t you want something real?”

    Max heard a story once about the importance of answering questions like that carefully. If something emerges from the forest and asks for your name, don’t give it up, the story went. Offer only what you know you can live without. She’s never heard a story that tells her what to do when something emerges from the forest and offers its name to you.
