the chinese character that ultra peanut says in panel four (%u8A18) means 'scribe/account/narrative'.
i know very little chinese in particular, but in japanese that same character can be pronounced "shirusu" (%u8A18%u3059), meaning 'to note/to write down'.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I used to think it was weird of me to imagine stuff like that. Especially because I knew nothing about the girl upon meeting her, and had no positive or negative feelings toward her.
But I'll be damned if the first thing that popped into my head wasn't me proposing.
