"I knew Jojo's real name the moment I saw him as a newborn. Jojo's mother didn't have time to give him a name, as she died soon after seeing her son. And I…" Kael took a deep breath. "When a cursed being knows their real name, they have the chance to tap into their full power. I grew up feared like a monster, and I didn't want Jojo to end up like me. So I discarded my curse for four years and raised Jojo in seclusion—until I was forced to accept that curse once again to save my son's life."
Kael turned his head towards the hut, and back at Sisi. "I named him Joy, because his birth gave me a joy in love, as we were meant to be a pair of father and son in every incarnation."
"And from Joy-Joy, it becomes Jojo?" Sisi asked, and Kael nodded. Sisi giggled. "Okay, that's actually cute. Jojo told me once that he also had no idea about his name, but I guess he just forgot that he called himself Joy-Joy and his toddler tongue simplified it as Jojo."
