Insert | Maria encounters Telly making name tags for himself, Kingston and Mara. They just heard a story which Kingston wrote, about the history of name tags, and ask Maria to read it again. In the story, a king (Telly) throws a party, but doesn't know everyone's name, which drives his guests away. His royal writer (Kingston) gets the idea to write all the guests' names down on small pieces of paper and stick them on their chest, which improves the party greatly.
