WAIT WUT
I thought Isana was some kind of reincarnation, and had been being called "princess" this whole time!
Goddamn speech bubbles, third person (formal) pronouns, and the general lack of Japanese verbal cues have made this very difficult for my braintisms.
And a translation note saying that they were using different spellings only added to my belief that they were talking to two different people!
Not sure if I feel dumb, or just bamboozled.
I could swear different machines have referred to Isana as "Princess," and that she was one in her dream, so... seems kinda sus, to me.
