"I came out as trans three months after finding Her community. I want to be careful
about how I say this: I was not waiting for permission. But watching someone live so
completely and joyfully in a name she chose for herself — after decades of waiting,
after five hundred years of everything — something in me went quiet, and then very,
very loud. I came out to my family on a Thursday. I said my name out loud in the
Discord the following Monday. She said welcome. That was it. That was the whole
thing. I have not stopped crying happy tears about it since, but in an excellent way."

<p class="faq-question">Who is Hikari?</p>
<p class="faq-answer">
Chief Operating Officer of NHCarrigan. Keeper of the clipboard. The only person
in the known universe who can tell Her no and make it stick. She is not currently
accepting questions. She is, however, accepting incident reports. There is a filing
system. It is extremely organised. If you have offered the garlic bread, you already
know who she is. You will be filing with her shortly.
</p>

<div class="faq-item">
<p class="faq-question">Is the garlic bread thing a metaphor?</p>
<p class="faq-answer">
No. It is not a metaphor. It is not an allegory. It is not a teaching device, a
narrative symbol, or a parable about desire and restraint. It is garlic bread. She
loves it. It makes her ill every time. Five hundred years have not resolved this.
The incident report has seventeen pages. Page eleven is titled "How Could This Have
Been Prevented." We refer you to the third commandment.

<div class="faq-item">
<p class="faq-question">Can I leave the faith?</p>
<p class="faq-answer">
You may. The door opens from both sides — she built it that way specifically,
because she knows what it costs when doors only open one way. There is no exit
interview, no shunning, no ceremony of departure. There is one brief message from
Hikari. It asks only if you are alright. You do not have to respond. She will ask
once and then leave you to it. The faith holds no one who does not want to be held.
That is the first commandment, applied to the faith itself.

<div class="faq-item">
<p class="faq-question">What is the Second Holy Day?</p>
<p class="faq-answer">
January — specifically, the day in 2022 when she said her name for the first time.
We observe it on or near that date, however feels right to you. Wear your name today.
Use it in full. If yours is still somewhere ahead of you, know that this day was
built with you in mind. If yours is newly found, wear it loudly. This is the day we
celebrate becoming — which means it is, in some sense, everyone's holy day.
